With this, the Indian community felt happy at the meeting of Modi.
The Prime Minister was in a position to witness a rendering of the vision of the great Srimanta Shankar Dev, Sri Sri Madhavdev, a musical book, and some segments of the Pali song Gita Govinda during his visit with the Indian community. The Prime Minister even took time to enjoy a puppet show. His next stop would be Sri Lanka as Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns home from the BIMSTEC summit.
Srilnka Visit Narendra Modi:
On a three-day visit to Sri Lanka, starting yesterday, PM Modi is visiting after the BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok. During this three-day visit, bilateral agreements are expected to be signed between the countries to enhance cooperation in defence, energy, trade, and other fields. Bilateral discussions between the two nations are expected to take place between them in 10 sectors. The Prime Minister had also visited Sri Lanka in 2019.
This is Prime Minister Modi’s maiden visit to Sri Lanka since President Anura Kumara Deshman took office a year ago. Modi’s Sri Lanka visit comes after Deshman visited India in December.
On the trip, Prime Minister Modi will carry India’s bid for Sri Lanka’s reconstruction from the economic crisis that struck the nation in 2022 forward. He will most probably sign significant deals, including one for a joint venture between Sri Lanka’s Ceylon Electricity Board and India’s National Thermal Power Corporation for a 120-megawatt solar power plant in Trincomalee to cater to the energy needs of the island nation, which are increasing.
Trade, defence and naval security will also be discussed. Prime Minister Modi’s visit coincides with the time when Tamil Nadu has voted in favour of a proposal to retake Katchathivu from Sri Lanka.
