David Lammy, Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, arrived in Sri Lanka a short while ago, marking the start of his official visit to the country.
Welcoming the senior UK official, Andrew Patrick, the UK High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, shared a message on X, formerly known as Twitter, noting that this is Lammy’s first visit to the island.
The visit is expected to further strengthen diplomatic ties between the UK and Sri Lanka. During his stay, Lammy will also observe the UK’s humanitarian assistance efforts provided in response to Cyclone Ditwah, which caused significant damage across several parts of the country last year.
He is also scheduled to hold discussions with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and meet with humanitarian partners involved in delivering UK-funded support to affected communities.
