India continues to be supportive of Sri Lanka in \'all possible ways\': High Commission

Deccan Chronicle  

COLOMBO: India continues to be supportive of Sri Lanka in "all possible ways" for its early economic recovery and growth, the Indian High Commission said on Tuesday after a media report that New Delhi does not plan to provide fresh financial support to the crisis-hit country on top of the nearly USD 4 billion it has extended this year. “We would like to emphasise that India has extended unprecedented bilateral assistance amounting close to USD 4 billion this year for ameliorating the difficulties faced by the people of Sri Lanka. India has also advocated to other bilateral and multilateral partners supporting Sri Lanka expeditiously in its current economic difficulties," the Indian High Commission said. Responding to a report that India would no longer extend economic support to Sri Lanka, the High Commission in a statement said, "“We continue to be supportive of Sri Lanka in all possible ways, in particular by promoting long-term investments from India in key economic sectors in Sri Lanka for its early economic recovery and growth."
