Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj yesterday met Sri Lankan Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera in New Delhi and discussed issues of development cooperation between the two countries.

Sri Lanka is one of the major recipients of development credit given by India, with total commitment of around USD 2.63 billion, including USD 458 million as grants. Under a line of credit of USD 167.4 million, the tsunami-damaged Colombo-Matara rail link has been repaired and upgraded.

Another line of credit of USD 800 million for track laying and supply of rolling stock to support construction of railway lines in northern Sri Lanka is already operational.

In October 2014, the Pallai-Jaffna reconstructed railway track and signal system was inaugurated thereby reconnecting Jaffna to Colombo by rail. (PTI)

Indians Are Always Plotting Against Sri Lanka,That Is Why We Need The Chinese.

Mendis - There is no need for India to plot against us. It is a very powerful country and we have to beg them for everything. Are you aware that at one time SL was attached to India during the ice age? Dennis
