The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Sri Lanka’s supply chain and revenue-generating tourism industry. This has depleted the island state’s foreign reserves and triggered an economic crisis. The government is proactively seeking the assistance of foreign countries, including its closest neighbour - India. Recently, India’s economic assistance to Sri Lanka has accounted for over 2.4 billion US$.
In this context, this keynote address will explore Sri Lanka’s opportunities to resolve the current economic crisis and charts out the future directions of the bilateral relationship with India.
What are the key challenges faced by Sri Lanka in resolving its economic crisis?
What is the future outlook of Sri Lanka’s economy in the post-pandemic era?
What role can India play in this economic recovery?
How can India’s priority for geo-economics and connectivity help Sri Lanka overcome this crisis?
What are the opportunities available for Indian investments and partnerships?
What bilateral and multilateral arrangements can both the countries explore?
