Manmohan Singh expected to visit Sri Lanka in Feb

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to be the chief guest at the 60th anniversary celebrations of Sri Lanka's independence in February next year.

"The Sri Lankan government had extended an invitation to the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and he has accepted it," a senior Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry official said.

"He will visit Sri Lanka on 4th of February," the official said.

The official, however, said it was not yet finalised whether Singh's visit will be for one day or two days.

Earlier in the day, Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama told Parliament that Singh will be the chief guest at the 60th anniversary celebrations on February 4.
