Milinda Moragoda, Founder of the Pathfinder Foundation, visited Delhi recently (14-15 January), where he met with several key government decision-makers and heads of think tanks. These interactions included meetings with Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, National Security Advisor Shri Ajit Doval, and Foreign Secretary Shri Vikram Misri.

The Pathfinder Foundation maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Indian government, think tanks, civil society organizations, and the private sector. In 2015, the foundation established the Center for Indo-Lanka Initiatives, which is dedicated to strengthening and promoting bilateral relations. Pathfinder has built a strong network of partnerships in India and has facilitated several track 1.5 and 2.0 exchanges between the two countries. It has also authored several groundbreaking studies and analyses. Most recently, Pathfinder has focused on promoting trilateral and quadrilateral initiatives that bring together Sri Lanka, India, and third countries to jointly work toward Sri Lanka’s development.

The foundation also runs a Sinhala publishing program, which publishes both translations and original works of books that provide deeper insights into various aspects of the Indo-Lanka relationship.
