While saying that Russia has good relations with Sri Lanka, President Vladimir Putin said they were determined to further expand mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, the economy and culture.
“Our countries interact constructively in the international arena, in particular, as part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, where Sri Lanka has the status of a dialogue partner," President Putin said.
He expressed these views at the ceremony for presenting foreign ambassadors’ letters of credence held in the Alexander Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace on November 24.
