When PM Modi arrived in Sri Lanka on Friday evening, five ministers of the Sri Lankan government were present to receive him. A large number of people from the Indian community were also present at the airport, and they constantly raised slogans of Modi-Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was given a grand welcome at Colombo's Independence Square on Friday. He also met Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. This three-day visit has been made to strengthen regional relations and increase development cooperation.
Official welcome and cultural program
Prime Minister Modi was warmly welcomed on his arrival in Sri Lanka. He also witnessed a puppet dance program while shaking hands with members of the Indian community at the hotel. This welcome reflects the strong cultural and public relations ties between the two countries.
