Regaining the control of the Trinco oil tank farm by Sri Lanka is a historical victory," Gammanpila told media.In 2003, the then Sri Lankan government headed by Ranil Wickremesinghe leased the 99 oil tanks for 35 years to India under an MoU.Last week, Wickremesinghe had urged Sri Lankan government to expedite agreements with India and to facilitate the imports of oil and food to avert oncoming food crisis in the country.The agreement is also to help Sri Lanka to unlock $1.9 billion of support from India ofwhich $400 million is a bank swap and $1.5 billion is in lines of credit.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
