Sri Lanka has called for the provision of greater market access to India in an attempt to help increase Sri Lankan exports and reduce the growing trade deficit with India, reported Colombo Page.
The suggestion was made during official talks between the two governments on trade, investment and economic cooperation, that were held in Colombo.
The two governments agreed that there was considerable potential to expand the bilateral trade between the nations and embolden each others economies.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
