Indian National Security Advisor arrives in Sri Lanka

 Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Kumar Doval arrived in Sri Lanka today. He is tipped to meet several Presidential candidates, including President Ranil Wickremesinghe and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) candidate Sajith Premadasa.

 

Earlier during the day, he met former Sri Lankan High Commissioner to India Milinda Moragoda who presented him with a copy of the Pathfinder Indo-Lanka Physical Connectivity Report.

 

The Study Group report which was recently launched, provides a comprehensive blueprint for physical connectivity in the sectors of road, rail, electricity and petroleum. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to increase Sri Lanka’s annual economic growth rate from 3 to 6% through economic integration between the two countries.
