Minister Gunawardane told Daily Mirror that the Russian Minister assured him of the supply of Sputnik V vaccine to Sri Lanka as committed.

Besides, the two countries are expected to resume their trade dialogue as early as possible.

Sri Lanka has given regulatory clearance for emergency use of this vaccine against Covid-19.
