New Delhi: To boost the economic partnership between the two nations, India and Sri Lanka adopted a vision document that would strengthen people-topeople connectivity and Maritime cooperation, trade, and power, PM Narendra Modi announced on Friday.
“The vision is to accelerate mutual cooperation in tourism, electricity, business, higher education, and skill development,” PM Modi said. During his address, PM Modi also recalled resilience shown by Sri Lankans during the economic crisis. Modi also said it was necessary for India and Sri Lanka to work together keeping in mind each other’s “security interests” and “sensitivities.” SL has an important place in both India’s “Neighbourhood First” policy and “SAGAR” vision, said PM Modi.
Modi, referring to the economic difficulties in Sri Lanka last year, said India stood “shoulder-toshoulder” with the people of the island nation during the crisis as a close friend.
