Prime Minister Narendra Modi began a three-day official visit to Sri Lanka—his first since President Anura Kumara Dissanayake took office. The visit resulted in seven Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) across defence, energy, trade, and health sectors. Highlights include the first India-Sri Lanka defence cooperation pact, a 120-MW solar project in Trincomalee, and the conversion of over $100 million in loans into grants. PM Modi also addressed issues like detained Indian fishermen and economic recovery. The visit reflects India’s strategic commitment to strengthening regional ties and supporting Sri Lanka’s development and stability. (PC: India Today)
