Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to India, Mahishini Colonne, said on Friday that bilateral ties have reached a point of “unprecedented excellence” following recent high-level visits between the two countries.
Speaking to PTI Videos in New Delhi, Colonne highlighted that the relationship has grown stronger since President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s visit to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Sri Lanka a few months later.
“At this point, Sri Lanka has stabilised its economy and is well on the path of recovery and transformation. Opportunities to explore partnerships are at an optimal level,” she noted.
The envoy emphasized the unique historic ties binding the two neighbours, citing shared culture, geography, and trade links spanning millennia. “We see India not just as our closest neighbour, but also our most natural business partner,” Colonne said.
