Colombo: The sky is the limit for the partnership between India and Sri Lanka, India’s High Commissioner here Gopal Baglay said in remarks published on Saturday.

The diplomat made the remarks on Thursday as he emphasised the importance of the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme in overall bilateral ties, The Island newspaper reported.

The High Commission celebrated ITEC Day 2022 to mark 58 years of capacity-building partnership between India and Sri Lanka through the ITEC.
