In Sri Lanka, the High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka, Santosh Jha, visited the Trincomalee Oil Tank Farms, where he received a comprehensive briefing on the impressive developments within the Lower Tank Farms. These advancements, facilitated by investments from Lanka IOC, underscored the deepening economic ties between India and Sri Lanka. The infrastructure redeveloped by Lanka IOC helped the island in managing fuel shortages during the economic crisis. Mr. Jha received a warm reception from Air Cmdre. Thushara Weerarathne and Gp.
