VP Radhakrishnan's Historic Visit to Sri Lanka

Vice President C P Radhakrishnan will embark on a two-day visit to Sri Lanka, marking his first bilateral trip as part of strengthening ties between the two nations. This visit aligns with India's MAHASAGAR vision and Neighbourhood First Policy, focusing on enhancing South Asian regional relationships.

In a significant move to bolster diplomatic relations, Vice President C P Radhakrishnan is set to begin a two-day visit to Sri Lanka on Sunday. This trip underscores India's commitment to strengthening ties with the island nation.

While in Colombo, Vice President Radhakrishnan is expected to engage with key Sri Lankan leaders, including President Anura Kumara Disanayaka and Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that this is the first bilateral visit of an Indian Vice President to Sri Lanka.

The visit reflects India's broader diplomatic initiatives, notably the MAHASAGAR vision, which stands for 'Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.' This vision was first articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Mauritius. It is a testament to India's ongoing efforts to foster growth and security within the Global South.
