Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa said that the Indo-Sri Lanka relations that date back to the ancient times cannot be shattered by anyone.

The Minister Basil Rajapaksa expressed this view when he participated in the inauguration of a Dabur Lanka fruit juice factory located at Yakadagala Estate, Kotadeniyawa in Mirigama. He stated that the business dealings between the two countries have strengthened more than ever before.

Two billion rupees was spent in the first phase of the plant which is being launched as a BOI project. It is envisaged to produce 280 thousand bottles of fruit juice per day. This will benefit local fruit growers.
