Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will jointly launch the signalling system for the Maho-Anuradhapura railway line – a project supported by the government of India.
They will also launch the railway track of the Maho-Omanthai railway line.
PM Modi, who is on a three-day visit to Sri Lanka, reached Anuradhapura.
“In Anuradhapura with my friend, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake," PM Modi tweeted.
He also visited Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi temple in Anuradhapura along with the Sri Lankan President.
As a special gesture during PM Modi’s visit, Sri Lanka released 14 Indian fishermen who were earlier arrested.
Earlier on Saturday, PM Modi laid a wreath at the ‘Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) Memorial’ in Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, near Colombo.
The Prime Minister lauded the brave soldiers of the Indian Peace Keeping Force who laid down their lives in service of peace and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka.
He also held a meeting with the leaders of the Indian Origin Tamil (IOT) community in Colombo and said that they have acted as a “living bridge" between the two countries for over 2 centuries.
