President Anura Kumara Disanayaka arrives in India today for the AI Impact Summit 2026 - the first summit of its kind to be hosted in the Global South.
At a time when emerging technologies are reshaping economies and societies, Sri Lanka’s participation reflects the depth and priority of the India–Sri Lanka partnership, and our shared commitment to ensuring innovation remains inclusive, responsible and people-centred.
Building on the President’s landmark State Visit in December 2024 and the joint vision “Fostering Partnerships for a Shared Future,” Sri Lanka and India have sustained momentum across connectivity, economic engagement, digital cooperation, capacity building and people-to-people ties.
As one of the South Asian leaders present, the President’s participation underscores both the closeness of our relationship and our commitment to working together on issues that will shape the future.
Rooted in proximity, strengthened by trust, and guided by practical cooperation, the India–Sri Lanka partnership continues to evolve with purpose.
