Mahinda Rajapaksa
Narendra Modi
The Prime Ministers of Sri Lanka and India are scheduled to have a virtual bilateral summit today, 26 September.
On the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had a telephone conversation with the newly-appointed Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa on 6 August, both leaders agreed to review the multifaceted bilateral relationship through the scheduled virtual summit.
The summit-level interaction is expected to focus on the full gamut of bilateral engagement, inter-alia political, economic, finance, development, defence and security spheres, educational, tourism, and cultural, as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest.
Relevant subject Ministers and senior officials of both countries will associate the leaders at the summit.
This is the first virtual summit-level interaction by Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa with a foreign leader since assuming premiership last month.
