New Delhi, March 5 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj travels to Sri Lanka on Friday - in the third high-level bilateral visit between the two countries that will also lay the ground for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit later this month.

Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin tweeted that Sushma Swaraj's visit was a signal of the upswing in bilateral ties. "Buoyancy in India-SriLanka ties in 2015," he posted.
