The Indian Government has proposed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sri Lanka on allowing a limited number of tourists to visit the country subject to COVID-19 health guidelines.

The source stated that the draft of the proposed MoU has been forwarded to the Attorney General for his advice.
