Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, along with the Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Mangubhai Chhaganbhai Patel, called on Sri Lanka’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Vijitha Herath and Deputy Minister of Tourism Ruwan Ranasinghe during an official meeting.
The discussion focused on the strengthening of India-Sri Lanka bilateral relations under the leadership of Narendra Modi, including India’s timely support to Sri Lanka during its recent economic crisis.
The leaders also highlighted the deep-rooted cultural and spiritual ties between the two countries, particularly through Theravada Buddhism. The long-standing exchange of Theravada monks between Namsai and Sri Lanka for teachings and discourses on Abhidhamma was recalled as a strong symbol of shared heritage.
