President to revive Japan-funded projects next week
President Ranil Wickremesinghe is to discuss the revival of the Light Railway Transit project and 12 other Japanese-funded projects shelved or abandoned by the Gotabaya Rajapaksa Government.
He will do so during his forthcoming visit to Japan to take part in the state funeral of former Prime Minster Shinzo Abe on Tuesday when he calls on the incumbent Premier Fumio Kishida, relevant Cabinet Ministers, the President of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and representatives of the private sector.
During the presidential visit, the Colombo Port West Container Terminal development and the LNG power plant project will also come up for discussion.
