President of the World Bank Group Ajay Banga met President Anura Kumara Dissanayake this afternoon at the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo.

This visit marks a milestone, as it is the first time in nearly two decades that a World Bank Group President has visited Sri Lanka, the President's Media Division (PMD) said.

During the meeting, discussions centred on strengthening collaboration to support Sri Lanka’s future development agenda.

Priority areas identified included digitalisation, tourism, agriculture and

infrastructure development, with particular emphasis on identifying short-term rewards, including advancing development in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.

The Sri Lankan government's efforts to establish a robust legal framework conducive to attracting

new investments and recent policy initiatives were also discussed during the meeting.

Why do we need kumara. Nandalal is moe than enough to discussand get loans when ever any need arise. So we do not need a leader and a government to take loans and act to the tune of foreign loan institutions alias rogue companies. We already have close to 6b usd and why act to the tune of rogue imf or wb. Go home Pachayas .

It is a way forward step for Sri Lanka visit by a World Bank Group President for a meeting with the People's government President AKD in two decades to discussed about economic progress in the country . This visit indicates Sri Lanka is going to be a country in the near future as a role model for economic recovery for such countries in same or close economic situations in the world . In few years time it will be a big news in the world for one of the few countries after Ethiopia came out from poverty mainly due to strict on corruption and putting main corrupted politicians and officials in to incarceration for longer years according to the law of the country .
