This visit highlights the deep cultural and educational connections shared between India and Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the Prime Minister will deliver the keynote address at the NDTV World Summit, an event co-organized in Delhi.
Honoring Mahatma Gandhi
Before her departure for India, PM Amarasuriya, along with the Indian High Commissioner, paid floral tributes to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at the Prime Minister’s Office in Colombo on October 2nd. This act of homage was a tribute to the Father of the Nation on his 156th birth anniversary, recognizing his enduring legacy of non-violent resistance and his pivotal role in India’s freedom struggle.
