"I thank the Sri Lankan leadership & welcome the Sri Lankan govt's official notification allowing the burial option for those dying of Covid 19," the PM tweeted.
Sri Lanka lifted the controversial ban which it had imposed last year saying that the bodies of COVID-19 victims could only be cremated as the virus could spread by contaminating groundwater.
The two sides focused on strengthening ties in areas of trade and investment, health and education, agriculture, science & technology, security, culture and tourism.
