The upcoming visit to Sri Lanka by Indian premier Narendra Modi is expected to lend further momentum in deepening the multi-faceted partnership between the two countries.
This visit is part of regular high level bilateral engagements.
Modi will travel to Sri Lanka on a state visit from 04 to 06 April, at the invitation of the president Anura Kumara Disanayaka.
During the visit, the PM will hold discussions with the Disanayaka to review progress made on the areas of cooperation agreed upon in the joint vision for “fostering partnerships for a shared future” adopted during the latter’s state visit to India.
Modi will also have meetings with senior dignitaries and political leaders and travel to Anuradhapura for the inauguration of development projects implemented with Indian financial assistance.
He last visited Sri Lanka in 2019.
Earlier, Disanayaka paid a state visit to India as his first visit abroad after assuming office.
India and Sri Lanka share civilizational bonds with strong cultural and historic links.
