A total of 13 suspended projects by Japan, worth US$1.1 billion, are set to resume following successful talks, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Sabry said
Addressing a press conference at the Presidential Media Centre, the Foreign Minister said that his recent visits to Japan, Singapore, Romania, and Poland have been highly successful and have contributed to strengthening Sri Lanka’s foreign policy.
Minister Sabry said these trips addressed many longstanding issues, including the resumption of stalled Japanese projects in Sri Lanka.
Additionally, discussions with Singapore focused on investments, while talks with Romania aimed at creating new job opportunities, he said.
The Foreign Minister further said that Sri Lanka also engaged in discussions with Poland regarding the establishment of an embassy.
“Coordinating with various countries proved to be a complex task, but we successfully garnered their support for debt restructuring—a significant achievement in our foreign policy. This success is largely due to President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s expertise in managing international relations,” he added. (Newswire)
