NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India said on Tuesday it had started bilateral discussions with Sri Lanka on restructuring the crisis-hit neighbour’s debt.
The first round was held on Sept. 16 “in a cordial atmosphere” that showed India’s support for an early conclusion and approval of an International Monetary Fund loan programme for Sri Lanka, the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said.
