Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address Sri Lanka’s parliament and visit Jaffna during his upcoming trip to the country, which will be part of a three-nation tour, including Mauritius and Seychelles.

“I embark on my visit to Sri Lanka with joy & the confidence that the visit will make India-SL relations even stronger in the years to come,” Modi tweeted about his three-nation visit beginning March 10.

“Apart from addressing the SL Parliament, I will visit Maha Bodhi Society & will visit Jaffna,” he said.

Talking about Mauritius, where he will be on March 11 and 12, he said, “Am happy to be with the people of Mauritius as they celebrate their National Day on 12th.”

In Mauritius, he said, he will address the National Assembly and join the programme to mark the commissioning of Barracuda, Mauritian offshore petrol vessel.

Referring to Seychelles, he said India’s ties with that country are special. “Am sure my visit will be a productive one & will benefit both our nations,” he added.
