His visit to Colombo would be the first by any foreign minister after the presidential elections last month.

India’s external Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be visiting Sri Lanka this week and call on newly elected President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who assumed office on September 23, Indian media reported today.

His visit to Colombo would be the first by any foreign minister after the presidential elections last month.  

Jaishankar’s visit to the neighbouring island nation, which is expected to begin on October 4, will be closely watched as it will include high-level engagement between India and Sri Lanka after Dissanayake came to power.
