Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan on Sunday (April 19, 2026) called on Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and held wide-ranging discussions on bilateral cooperation across sectors. Energy sector cooperation was among the key aspects discussed, officials said, with India emphasising that there is “no time to lose” on projects including the proposed ‘energy hub’ in the eastern Trincomalee district.
“The Indian Vice-President stated that both countries expect to further strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, education, health, tourism, investment and trade, with particular emphasis on enhancing collaboration in energy security and port development,” a statement from President Dissanayake’s office said, adding that “comprehensive discussions” were held on India-funded housing projects and programmes under the $ 450 million-package extended towards cyclone recovery. The two sides signed a set of Memoranda of Understanding to firm up projects as part of the assistance.
