External Affairs Minister (EAM), Dr. S. Jaishankar paid an official visit to Sri Lanka on 20 June 2024. It is the first bilateral visit undertaken by EAM after his re-appointment. It follows immediately after the visit of President H.E. Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe to India on 09-10 June to attend the swearing in ceremony of the new government following the General Elections in India. In the recent past, EAM visited Sri Lanka four times in January 2021, March 2022, January 2023 and October 2023.


      In a testament to the comprehensive and people-centric nature of India-Sri Lanka development cooperation, President Wickremesinghe and EAM jointly handed over 48 houses under Model Village Housing Project in Colombo and Trincomalee districts.

      Interaction of EAM with the leadership of the Government of Sri Lanka provided an opportunity to review and accelerate progress in the multifaceted India-Sri Lanka partnership.
