Sri Lanka, Pakistan sign six MoUs to enhance cooperation

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Sri Lanka signed several agreements on Monday to enhance bilateral cooperation in various fields.

Sri Lanka’s president Maithripala Sirisena swept to power in January, ending a decade of rule by Mahinda Rajapakse, and has moved to reduce China’s influence in his country, which had irked India.

His three-day state visit has been watched by observers for clues over any further changes in Colombo’s foreign policy.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka have traditionally enjoyed strong ties, particularly over defence, with Islamabad providing military assistance during the war against Tamil Tiger guerrillas that ended in 2009.

Speaking at a press conference with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Sirisena said: “At critical moments in our post-independent histories we have stood in solidarity with each other,” adding he was “profoundly grateful for the strong support in the fight against terrorism” by Pakistan.

“We discussed regional and international agreements and signed six agreements in the fields of disaster management, sports, shipping, atomic energy… and in narcotics and academic cooperation,” he added.

Earlier Sharif had spoken of his desire to improve trade and economic relations.

Sirisena will also meet Pakistan’s President Mamnoon Hussain during his visit and is due to leave Tuesday.
