During the visit, President Muizzu is scheduled to meet Sri Lankan leaders to discuss strengthening bilateral relations and expanding cooperation in areas including education and vocational training, economic collaboration, governance, heritage, and engagement in international forums.
The two presidents are also expected to witness the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding.
