Prime Minister Wickremesinghe in New Delhi this week
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe will be in New Delhi this week for talks with PM Narendra Modi. Wickremasinghe arrives today and will speak at a key cyber security conference before meeting the Indian leadership.
According to the Times of India India has expressed interest in operating the Mattala international airport near the Hambantota port.
India wants to lease the Mattala airport for 40 years at something over $200 million and to operate the airport for its own airlines, which have apparently reported an uptick in tourist travel to southern Sri Lanka, the report claimed.
Adding that there were also plans to use it as a training space or even as a freight hub. The leasing makes sense from a security/strategic point of view as it will give India eyes on Hambantota.
