SRI LANKAN PRESIDENT

The recently elected Sri Lankan President is on his first bilateral visit to India.

"I have given an assurance to the Prime Minister of India that we will not have our land to be used in a manner that is detrimental to the interest of India in any way," Dissanayake said after bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House.

"We both agree that our security interests are interconnected. We have decided to soon finalise the defence cooperation agreement," Modi said.

A joint statement framed this in the context of a safe and secure Indian Ocean Region.
