He arrived in Colombo on Sunday night after touching down at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) where he was greeted by Sri Lankan officials.

Qureshi will call on the President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and hold discussions on bilateral ties.

During his meeting with President Rajapaksa, the Pakistani foreign minister will also officially invite him to visit Pakistan.
