No Agreement Will Be Signed During Modi’s Visit To Sri Lanka: President

President Maithripala Sirisena refuted allegations any deal would be signed with India during Indian Premier Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Sri Lanka.

At an event in Batticaloa the President said, “The Indian Prime Minister is arriving in Sri Lanka on my invitation to attend the UN Vesak Day celebrations. He will not sign agreement, any document on his visit to Sri Lanka.”

The president said that those with the motive of destabilising the country were spreading false reports about the visit on the Internet and on social media sites, “Don’t be fooled by false reports,” the President further said.
