High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka Gopal Baglay called on Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena on Tuesday (August 03), says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The High Commissioner Baglay also appreciated Sri Lanka for lifting entry restrictions imposed on fully-vaccinated Indians as lifting of such restrictions would provide immense benefits for Sri Lanka’s tourism industry and the economy as a whole. During the discussion, a joint commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of Independence of India and Sri Lanka was proposed in view of celebrating the centuries old cultural values shared between the two countries. Minister Gunawardena has underscored the government’s priority in the field of renewable energy and he invited Indian private sector investments in the sustainable energy sector in Sri Lanka. Endorsing the government’s move, High Commissioner Baglay stated that Indian investors are keen to invest in the renewable energy sector, especially in solar energy.
