Sri Lanka is keen to resume the ferry service with India, the Prime Minister’s Office said. The issue had been discussed during a meeting between Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and a visiting Indian delegation.
Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, a Tamil Nadu politician, met with the PM for talks in Colombo on Saturday.
The ferry service linking Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu and Colombo was launched in 2011 but later suspended due to less traffic.
