External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Friday met Sri Lankan president Anura Kumara Dissanayake and discussed "ways to deepen ongoing cooperation and strengthen India-Sri Lanka ties", and assured India's continued support to the island nation's economic rebuilding.
Jaishankar, who is in Colombo on a daylong visit, less than a fortnight after president Dissanayake was sworn in, also met prime minister Harini Amarasuriya and his counterpart Vijitha Herath. Jaishankar is the first foreign dignitary to visit Sri Lanka since the National People's Power government led by Dissanayake came to power on September 23.
"Honoured to call on president Anura Dissanayake today in Colombo. Conveyed warm greetings of president Murmu and PM Modi," Jaishankar posted on X.
