Sri Lanka and Thailand will hold the sixth round of bilateral political consultations on Tuesday (25) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand in Bangkok, the Colombo government said.
It will be the first bilateral political consultation meeting under President Anura Kumara Dissanayake-led ruling National People’s Power government.The consultations will be co-chaired by Aruni Ranaraja, Secretary at Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Eksiri Pintaruchi, the Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Thailand.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Colombo said the upcoming consultations will review the progress made since the fifth round of bilateral political consultations held in Colombo in August 2023 and the official visit of the former Thai Prime Minister to Sri Lanka in February 2024.
“As Sri Lanka and Thailand commemorate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year, the discussions will focus on strengthening cooperation in key areas, including political engagement, trade and investment, renewable energy, fisheries and agriculture sector cooperation, defence, culture, and tourism,” the MFA said in the statement.
