Trade and maritime cooperation featured in talks during Indonesian Vice Foreign Minister Muhammad Anis Matta’s visit to Sri Lanka from 23 to 25 April.
The two sides discussed earlier political consultations, more high-level exchanges and stronger people-to-people links. Meetings included discussions with Deputy Foreign Minister Arun Hemachandra and Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath.
An official account published on 29 April said agreements on political consultations and visa exemptions for diplomatic and official passport holders were nearing completion. It did not announce general visa-free travel for all visitors.
Both governments also considered cultural exchanges and cooperation ahead of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027. The visit was presented as a step towards a broader partnership rather than a concluded strategic partnership agreement.
