Prime Minister Modi expressed hope that the Sri Lankan leader will be committed to enacting 13A and holding provincial council elections

According to sources present in Sri Lankan administration, Ranil Wickremesinghe's Delhi visit would last for two to three days.

"I have no hope of being President for 13 years," Wickremesinghe said, amidst opposition to his hard economic reforms which had triggered utility rate hikes and increased personal taxes.

Ranil Wickremesinghe took over as Sri Lanka's President last year while the nation was facing its worst economic crisis
