Australia Pledges Stronger Economic and Bilateral Ties with Sri Lanka

Date:

Australian Governor-General Samantha Joy Mostyn met President Anura Kumara Dissanayake at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday (7) for bilateral talks aimed at strengthening the more than 75-year-old friendship between the two nations.

Governor-General Mostyn affirmed Australia’s readiness to continue supporting Sri Lanka under President Dissanayake’s leadership, with a particular focus on bolstering the economy.

President Dissanayake thanked Australia for its longstanding assistance in economic development, education, defence, tourism, and maritime affairs, noting that Australia has become a key hub for employment, education, and vocational training for Sri Lankans. He added that Sri Lanka has now created a favourable environment for Australian investors and expressed interest in drawing on Australia’s expertise in various sectors.

The Governor-General is in Sri Lanka on a three-day official visit at the invitation of President Dissanayake and will tour several locations, including Australian-supported projects in Bandaragama, Mirissa, and Weligama.
