Following a historic victory, which secured the National People’s Power (NPP) coalition a two-thirds majority in Sri Lanka’s parliament, India’s High Commissioner, Santosha Jha, met with Sri Lanka’s President, Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
On X, Jha noted that he welcomed “the mandate & remains committed to further strengthening bilateral ties for the benefit of our peoples”.
India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, has previously pushed Dissanayake to allow greater devolution to Tamils through the 13th amendment. Dissanayake’s party, the JVP has long opposed any reforms which would enable greater devolution to Tamils.
