Today (31 August), Ambassador Sashikala Premawardhane met with Dr. Syahrul Aidi Maazat, Chairperson of the Committee for Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia. The discussions focused on ways in which Sri Lanka and Indonesia could further strengthen and expand bilateral relations through the Sri Lanka–Indonesia Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Groups. Business and economic cooperation, maritime security—including search and rescue—and people-to-people relations, underpinned by the deep-rooted cultural and civilizational links between the two countries, were identified as key areas for further cooperation.
