Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has arrived in India for a three -day visit. He will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, according to the External Affairs Ministry.
His visit assumes significance as India last week pulled out of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) Summit that was scheduled to be held in Islamabad in November citing Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorism in the region.
The Indian move came after the September 18 cross-border terror attack on an army garrison at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed the lives of 19 soldiers.
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
The Committee on High Posts has approved the nomination of Former Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal (Retd.)
