Colombo, June 9 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday visited Sri Lanka and said he had a 'fruitful' visit to the Island Nation.

Sri Lanka was Modi's second foreign nation where he visited after registering a thumping victory in the Lok Sabha polls last month.

He visited Sri Lanka after ending his Maldives tour.

I had a short but immensely fruitful Sri Lanka visit.

Sri Lanka has a special place in our hearts.

I assure my sisters and brothers of Sri Lanka that India will always be there with you and support your nation’s progress.
