New Delhi, Sept 10 (IBNS): A parliamentary delegation from Sri Lanka led by Karu Jayasuriya, Speaker of the Parliament of Sri Lanka, called on President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday.

Welcoming the delegation to India, the President said that India’s growth and the prosperity of the South Asian region are interlinked.

For India, Sri Lanka is a special and an important part of its ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy.

The President said that India is the fastest growing major economy in the world.

"It holds tremendous potential for development and progress for Sri Lanka as well. Sri Lanka can benefit from the huge market that India offers," said he.

Kovind said that India is honoured to have a strong developmental partnership with Sri Lanka.

This spans across all sectors, including education, culture, skill development, livelihood assistance and sanitation.
