On Thursday, India's new foreign minister used his maiden speech to criticise poor connectivity in South Asia. On Sunday, Modi is due to stop in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, where security is likely to be high on the agenda. A wave of bombings killed more than 250 people across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, despite repeated warnings from Indian intelligence services about a militant plot. Gokhale said India will continue to provide support to the country in the fight against extremist groups. "This is a model I can say you will see not just in Sri Lanka but in the coming days in a couple of other neighbouring countries."
