President Maithripala Sirisena would visit South Korea next week on a state visit in line with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries, Seoul's presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said Wednesday.

According to the Korea Herald, President Sirisena would visit Korea on Tuesday on a three-day visit that will include a summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

"The two leaders will discuss ways to increase the countries' practical cooperation in various areas, including in the international community," Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun has told a news briefing.

He said they will also hold frank discussions on ways to enhance the friendly relationship between the governments and people of the two countries.

"We expect President Sirisena's visit to South Korea will help realize the country's New South Policy by helping to expand the area of our foreign policy to Southwest Asia following President Moon's trip to Southeast Asia," Park said.

    The country is in a very bad state financially and such foreign trips need to be curtailed unless it is extremely essential. Today with teleconferencing and availability of diplomatic offices in capitals, it is a total waste of resources to gallivant to another nation on simple pretexts of anniversaries and whatnot.

    In the 1950s South Korea was a backward country much poorer than Sri Lanka.They changed it around by introducing a unique education policy where the focus was placed on training Scientists and Mathematicians while the rest of the third world trained doctors and engineers.

    Is he running away because the local govt elections are now up in the air due to SLFP surrogates filing action in the courts is now successful?
