Sri Lankan PM says discussion with India 'successful'

Sri Lanka's prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on Friday told journalists that talks with this Indian counterpart during his visit to New Delhi had been "successful". 

"I had extensive talks with the Indian Prime Minister and our discussions concluded positively," Mr Wickremesinghe was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying. 

"Our discussions focused on the delay in implementing some of these projects and certain clarifications on others. Japan will play a part in two of these development projects together with India," he added.

" I met Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sushma Swaraj and Indian Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi and each of these discussions generally focused on Indo-Lanka ties," Mr Wickremesinghe said.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
