Six Indian parliamentarians will visit Sri Lanka next week, reported The Hindu on Friday.
The delegation includes Saugata Roy (Trinamool Congress), Sandeep Dikshit (Congress), Anurag Thakur (BJP), Dhananjay Singh (BSP), Goud Yaskhi (Congress) and Prakash Javadekar (BJP), along with members of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) who organised the trip.
During the visit, the group will visit Colombo and Jaffna and is expected to meet senior ministers and political leaders.
“The MPs will also visit Jaffna to look at work on projects supported by the Indian government, particularly the owner-driven housing initiative,” said the High Commission in Colombo.
Jyoti Malhotra of the FICCI said that the organisation has been working with both countries for many months.
“We intend to pursue these political tracks within South Asia because we believe that talking to each other can be the only way forward out of any crisis, whether political or economic. We greatly look forward to our visit to Sri Lanka to take forward our very dynamic relationship,” said Ms Malhotra.
