India and Sri Lanka have decided to carry out feasibility studies on establishing a multi-product petroleum pipeline and a land bridge connectivity between the two countries. UPI-based digital payments, too, will start in Sri Lanka in the next 2-3 months.
These moves are part of a long list of initiatives outlined in the India-Sri Lanka Economic Partnership Vision announced on Friday amid Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s ongoing visit to India. On Friday, he held bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and called on President Draupadi Murmu.
