Will accomplish ETCA soon to promote bilateral trade: PM
India and Sri Lanka on Monday agreed to ramp up defence and energy ties, including establishing electricity-grid connectivity and multi-product petroleum pipelines, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi held extensive talks with Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

In a joint press statement, Modi said both sides agreed to emphasise the investment-led growth and connectivity for the India-Sri Lanka economic partnership, and it was decided that physical, digital and energy connectivity will be key pillars of the cooperation.

The Sampur Solar Power Project shall be accelerated. Additionally, Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) shall be supplied for Sri Lanka's power plants," he said.
