Indonesian President Joko Widodo arrived at Colombo on January 24 on a two-day state visit on the invitation of his Sri Lankan counterpart Maithripala Sirisena.

Widodo will be accorded a ceremonial welcome with guard of honour and 21-gun salute at the Presidential Secretariat, the media reported.

Both leaders will later hold discussions on a range of issues of mutual interest. Several MoUs will be inked between the two countries.

Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will also hold discussions on economic, trade and investment cooperation with Widodo.

Sri Lanka and Indonesia established diplomatic relations 65 years ago and have had cordial bilateral relations since then, the Foreign Ministry said.

Sirisena paid a state visit to Indonesia in 2016.
