Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Saturday called the launch of a ferry service between Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam and Sri Lanka's Kankesanthurai an "important step" in increasing the connectivity between the two nations.
In his virtual address at the flag-off ceremony of the ferry service between Nagapattinam and Kankesanthurai, he said that the launch of a ferry service between India and Sri Lanka is also an affirmation of the people-centric policies of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government.
