Colombo, Sri Lanka – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Sri Lanka in April, according to reports from Indian media. The visit is currently in the planning stage and is likely to take place around April 5, citing Sri Lankan sources.
During his visit, Prime Minister Modi is expected to discuss key areas of bilateral cooperation, with a focus on connectivity, trade, and economic relations between the two nations. Strengthening regional partnerships and enhancing infrastructure projects between India and Sri Lanka are also likely to be on the agenda.
The visit follows an official invitation from Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, which was extended during his two-day visit to India in December 2024. This trip marked Dissanayake’s first foreign visit since taking office in September 2024, underscoring Sri Lanka’s strategic diplomatic engagement with India.
Prime Minister Modi has previously visited Sri Lanka several times during his tenure, including in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Each of these visits has contributed to strengthening bilateral relations, particularly in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, and cultural ties.
As preparations continue, further details on the agenda and key discussions of Modi’s visit are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
