Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he held discussions with Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on the evolving situation in West Asia, with a focus on disruptions to global energy security.
In a message shared on social media, Prime Minister Modi noted that the two leaders also reviewed progress on key initiatives aimed at strengthening India–Sri Lanka energy cooperation and enhancing regional security.
“As close and trusted partners, we reaffirmed our commitment to work closely together in addressing shared challenges,” Modi said.
The talks come amid rising global concerns over energy supply disruptions linked to the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has increased fears of fuel shortages and price volatility worldwide.
Sri Lanka has already taken precautionary measures in response, including managing fuel quotas, securing supplies, and exploring regional cooperation to ensure energy stability.
India continues to play a key role as a partner in Sri Lanka’s energy sector, supporting fuel supply, renewable energy development, and power connectivity initiatives.
