Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Colombo on Friday evening for a 3-day visit aimed at strengthening India-Sri Lanka ties. Despite rain, six Sri Lankan ministers welcomed him at the airport, including Foreign Affairs Minister Vijitha Herath and Health Minister Nalinda Jayatissa. Modi, returning from a BIMSTEC summit in Bangkok, wrote on X: “Looking forward to the programs in Sri Lanka.” On April 5, he will hold key talks with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. Around 10 bilateral outcomes are expected, focusing on defence, energy, and digital cooperation. India had earlier provided Sri Lanka $4.5 billion during its economic crisis. (PC: X/@narendramodi)
