Sri Lankan President Ranil Dissanayake said ties with India remain strong, noting that India has previously informed its Supreme Court that the disputed island of Katchatheevu is Sri Lankan territory. He referenced statements from Indian Attorney General R. Venkataramani, who told the court that New Delhi does not plan to revisit the 1974 and 1976 agreements governing the island.
