COLOMBO : President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has received official invitations to visit both China and India, according to Cabinet Spokesman Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa.
Speaking at a press briefing, Dr. Jayatissa stated that the Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka formally extended the invitation for the President’s visit to China.
However, the visit will likely take place after the President’s official visit to India.
The President is expected to visit India in the third week of December, although the exact dates have not yet been finalised. Following the Indian visit, the President is most likely to proceed with the state visit to China.
Dr.Jayatissa emphasised that both requests have been accepted reflecting the government’s efforts to strengthen diplomatic ties with key international partners.
