It was lovely catching up with two former and well liked US ambassadors to #SriLanka @JulieChungUSA and @USAmbKeshap who continue to find ways to strengthen the bridge between our two countries.

Sri lanka is home to 380+ waterfalls and more, and we are consistently blessed by 103 river basins. And we get two main moonsoon seasons supply those rivers and waterways. Some of them are not even on the maps… this is one of them ! 👇
Can anyone guess!

Congratulations to Hon. C. Joseph Vijay on being sworn in as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu are connected through history, culture, enterprise, and enduring people-to-people ties across generations. Our future holds immense economic promise and opportunity as Sri Lanka and India continue to build ever closer ties and a stronger partnership.
I look forward to working together, within the strong India–Sri Lanka partnership, towards greater prosperity and progress.
The people of Sri Lanka join me in wishing you and the people of Tamil Nadu every success.

Points well taken. Things are going well currently. But we need a major push to enhance our relationship even more! @santoshm

"Indians are investing close to $30 billion every year around the world, but only about $1 billion has come into Sri Lanka. So, we need to be critical. Around 30 million Indian tourists travel across the world every year, yet only 452,000 have visited Sri Lanka. For me, all of this represents huge opportunities. We need to ask why this is happening and what is preventing trade and investment from benefiting both countries," says Santosh Menon (@santoshm), President of the Lanka India Business Association

A big leap in India’s space journey with the launch of Mission Drishti, world’s first OptoSAR satellite built by space-tech startup GalaxEye. At ~190 kg, it is 🇮🇳’s largest privately fabricated Earth observation satellite, featuring all-weather, day-and-night imaging capability.

Mission Drishti by GalaxEye marks a major achievement in our space journey. The successful launch of the world’s first OptoSAR satellite and the largest privately-built satellite in India is a testament to our youth’s passion for innovation and nation-building. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the founders and the entire team of GalaxEye. @GalaxEye

Honoured to speak at the @ZeeNews & @WIONews Global Innovation & Leadership Summit in Colombo.
I spoke about something I deeply believe - India and Sri Lanka are not just neighbours, we are partners in growth, in ambition, and in shaping the future of this region. Our histories, cultures and economies have evolved together through centuries of trade, movement and shared ideas across these waters. It is a relationship built, not on convenience, but continuity.
Today, that partnership has a new economic meaning. Sri Lanka offers Indian businesses a strategic platform to invest, build and scale into South Asia and beyond.
We offer global connectivity, a strong legal framework, a rapidly improving investment climate and an unmatched lifestyle.
Indian business and investment will and should play a bigger role in Sri Lanka’s journey towards a more prosperous economy. And we should continue working closely together to deliver that shared prosperity.

"Sri Lanka can rise with India, not as a dependent nation, but as a trusted partner and an extension of India’s strength. Sri Lanka must be seen as a strategic platform for growth, innovation, and regional cooperation," says Hanif Yusoof, Governor of the Western Province and Special Envoy of the President for Foreign Investment, Sri Lanka
