“India will continue to support Sri Lanka in all possible ways”

Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has assured that India will continue to support Sri Lanka in all possible ways.

 

The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said in a tweet today that the Indian External Affairs Minister had a productive and cordial telephone conversation with Sri Lanka’s Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa on Monday evening.

 

It added that both sides agreed to a mutually convenient date in the second half of March for Basil Rajapaksa’s visit to India. The visit takes place in the context where Sri Lanka is expecting USD 1 billion Credit Line from India to buy essentials including medicine and food. Minister Rajapaksa’s visit to India had been postponed twice early this year.
