Sri Lanka plans donor conference to find way out of economic crisis

Sri Lanka will hold a donor conference with China, India and Japan as it seeks overseas assistance to find a way out of its worst economic crisis in decades, Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told parliament on Wednesday.

"We need the support of India, Japan and China, who have been historic allies," he said, reports Reuters.

A high-level delegation from India will also arrive on Thursday for talks on additional support from New Delhi, while a special team from the US Treasury will visit next week, Wickremesinghe said.
