India and Sri Lanka are looking at the possibility of land connectivity between the two nations, Foreign Secretary of India Vinay Mohan Kwatra said on Friday (July 21).
Speaking during a media briefing, Kwatra said the idea of land connectivity was proposed by Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
“The leaders of both India and Sri Lanka agreed to take this forward and in taking this forward you would have heard Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Press Remarks say that both sides would carry it forward through an initial feasibility study to look at this land connectivity between the two countries.
This move will help to bring about economic prosperity to both our societies, also help in regional cohesion between the two countries, and can be a source of tremendous bilateral and regional economic prosperity in our region,” Kawatra added.
