India-sri Lanka

A tiny island between India and Sri Lanka on Palk Straight has become the latest flashpoint between the Congress and the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Sri Lanka on Friday awarded the construction of three solar and wind hybrid power generation facilities to an Indian company after scrapping a tender won by a Chinese firm.

Australian cricketer Amanda-Jade Wellington recently shared a photo of herself enjoying Indian food while watching the India vs Sri Lanka World Cup game.

The launch of a passenger ferry service from Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam to Kankesanthurai near Jaffna in Sri Lanka is a "truly big step" for boosting people-to-people contacts, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday.

India and Sri Lanka are embarking on a new chapter in diplomatic and economic relations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday as he hailed the launch of a ferry service between the two nations as an "important milestone" in strengthening tie

Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said his country is looking at forging closer ties with India, especially in the fields of electricity, renewable energy, tourism and port shipping connectivity.

Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry on Monday said that Colombo has not given permission to a Chinese vessel to dock, adding that Indian security concerns are "important" for Sri Lanka.

Indian Navy Ships INS Kiltan and INS Savitri participated in multifaceted maritime operations with Sri Lanka Navy Ships SLNS Samudura and SLNS Vijayabahu from April 6 to April 8 as part of the SLINEX Sea Phase.

Amid the economic crisis, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar asserted that it is natural for India to stand by Sri Lanka during its difficult time as "blood is thicker than water".

India and Sri Lanka on Thursday agreed to increase intensity of bilateral military exercises and vowed to avail maximum benefits from each other's experience and capacities.

Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena has said that India is the biggest friend of the island nation in times of crisis.

"What is the need for reducing the tax? The argument is that the country is witnessing the phenomenon of price rise, so the tax should be reduced. Those who are starving need not go to watch the match," the Minister had earlier said.

As the India-Sri Lanka cricket match on Sunday was played in a half-empty stadium, the Congress blamed the Kerala Sports Minister's recent controversial comment on the ticket rate for the low turnout.

Faced with criticism from various quarters that ticket rates for the upcoming India-Sri Lanka ODI scheduled to be held here are exorbitant, Kerala Sports Minister V Abdurahiman has sparked off a huge controversy.

India does not plan to provide fresh financial support to Sri Lanka on top of the nearly $4 billion it has extended this year, two sources told Reuters.
