Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s United National Party (UNP) on Mar 30 welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Sri Lanka this week. Modi will begin a two-day visit to Sri Lanka on April 4.

“This visit represents a cherished milestone in the timeless relationship between our two great nations,” a party statement said.

The UNP said the visit presents an opportunity to strengthen the India-Sri Lanka Economic Partnership Vision adopted in July 2023.

The UNP recalls that India’s provision of USD 4 billion in assistance during Sri Lanka’s economic crisis was a testament to the depth of our friendship.
