The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi will be visiting Sri Lanka on 11th and 12th May, 2017. In a post from his Facebook account the Prime Minister said: “I will be in Sri Lanka for a two-day visit starting today, 11th May. This will be my second bilateral visit there in two years, a sign of our strong relationship.
During my visit, I will join the International Vesak Day celebrations in Colombo on 12th May, where I will interact with leading Buddhist spiritual leaders, scholars and theologians. It is my honour to join these celebrations with President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. My visit brings to the fore one of the most abiding links between India and Sri Lanka- the shared heritage of Buddhism.
