Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he held discussions with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on the evolving situation in West Asia, particularly focusing on disruptions affecting global energy security.
In a message shared on social media, Prime Minister Modi said the two leaders also reviewed progress on key initiatives aimed at strengthening India–Sri Lanka energy cooperation and enhancing regional security.
“As close and trusted partners, we reaffirmed our commitment to work closely together in addressing shared challenges,” Modi said.
The discussion comes amid growing global concerns over energy supply disruptions linked to the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has raised fears of fuel shortages and price volatility across several countries.
Sri Lanka has already taken precautionary measures in response to the global situation, including fuel quota management and efforts to secure supply, while also exploring regional cooperation to ensure energy security.
India has remained a key partner for Sri Lanka in the energy sector, including fuel supply support, renewable energy projects, and power connectivity initiatives. (Newswire)
