New Delhi, December 10, 2024: Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is scheduled to visit India from December 15-17, 2024, at the invitation of the Indian government. During his stay, he will engage in high-level discussions with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders. This visit follows the recent transition in Sri Lanka’s leadership and represents a significant moment in the strengthening of bilateral ties between the two neighboring nations.
The visit comes after several diplomatic engagements between India and Sri Lanka, including the October visit of India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to Colombo. Relations between the two countries have been especially important following Sri Lanka’s financial crisis in 2022, with India playing a vital role in providing economic assistance and support to help stabilize the island nation.
This upcoming visit by President Dissanayake is expected to further deepen bilateral relations and focus on areas such as economic cooperation, security, and regional stability. The Sri Lankan government aims to bolster its international relationships, and this visit will be a key part of those efforts, especially in the context of its recovery and future growth.
