Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Sri Lanka will center around a key project to connect the power systems of the two nations, according to Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath.
Minister Herath stated that the initiative aims to position Sri Lanka as a regional energy hub, enabling the export of surplus renewable energy to India and other countries. This strategic move is expected to open new avenues for economic cooperation and energy trade between the two nations.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka on a three-day official visit beginning April 4. During the visit, both sides are expected to sign a number of agreements, including those related to security and energy cooperation.
The power grid interconnection project is viewed as a significant step in enhancing regional energy security and sustainability, while also contributing to Sri Lanka’s long-term economic development goals.
