Sri Lanka uses part of Indian financial aid to buy textbooks for 4 million students
Colombo, Mar 11 (PTI) Sri Lanka has used over USD 10 million from India’s assistance of USD 1 billion to print nearly half of the textbooks for its four million young students, the Indian High Commission here said on Saturday.
India announced a USD 1 billion line of credit to Sri Lanka last year as part of its financial assistance to help the country deal with its economic crisis.
After an agreement to extend the line of credit was inked, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi had said India has always stood with the people of Sri Lanka and will continue to extend all possible support to the country.
