Indian External Affairs Minister Jaishankar to Visit Colombo

Date:

October 02, Colombo (LNW): Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is set to visit Colombo this week, marking the first high-level engagement between India and Sri Lanka since President Anura Kumara Dissanayake assumed office last week. This visit will provide India with a key opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to supporting Sri Lanka’s development.

During the visit, which is expected to begin on October 4, Jaishankar will also meet with President Dissanayake. This will be the first official visit by a foreign minister to Sri Lanka following the recent presidential election. Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Santosh Jha had already met with Dissanayake soon after the election results were declared.

The visit by Jaishankar will further India’s efforts to strengthen ties with Dissanayake, continuing the diplomatic outreach that saw the Sri Lankan leader visit Delhi earlier this year.
