VIDEO | “It is a very positive start for relations between the two countries because of the first development that we saw. The moment the results were announced at the Election Commission’s (office) last evening, the first visitor to call on the president-elect at the time was India’s High Commissioner in Sri Lanka. This is foreboding very well for the future. It’s going to be a very positive development here because we have seen in recent months, the president also undertaking a visit to India at the invitation of the government. He met with Minister S Jaishankar, he had a very good round of discussions with several other important officials and also visits to certain parts of the country. So, it certainly looks very positive at this particular stage. India is seen as a large power at the world stage and Sri Lanka would look (for ways) to work closely with India at this crucial time,” said Executive Director at Regional Centre for Strategic Studies, Geroge IH Cooke, on Monday about the impact of Sri Lankan president Anura Kumara Dissanayake's win on India-Sri Lanka relations.
