Minister Chamal Rajapaksa has been elected president of the “Parliamentary Friendship Association” between India and Sri Lanka.
Highlights:
After resolving to buy fertilizer from India on November 11, 2021, Sri Lanka founded the India-Sri Lanka Parliamentary Friendship Group.
To boost bilateral relations, the Indian Parliament recommended forming a Parliamentary Friendship Group with friendly nations.
It is being resurrected for the upcoming Parliament, which will be elected in August 2020.
Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G.L. Peiris spoke at the resurrection ceremony about the “strong civilizational links” between India and Sri Lanka.
He stated that Buddhism was India’s greatest gift to Sri Lanka.
This partnership will aid in “revitalizing” parliamentary exchanges and bolstering bilateral connections between the two countries.
