Sri Lanka reiterated that it will not return the islet Katchatheevu to India, reports the Economic Times of India.
Speaking to press Sri Lanka’s deputy Minister for Child and Women’s Affairs Vijaayakala Maheswaran said,
“Katchatheevu is part of Sri Lanka according to an agreement and hence it was not possible to give it back to India.”
In 1974 India ceded the Katchatheevu islet to Sri Lanka.
