India assisted worth 3.8 billion dollars to Sri Lanka to tide over an unprecedented economic crisis. FM said," Indian support is very critical to us. 

He also highlighted how the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict has "disproportionately impacted" his country and said that Colombo is in talks with Moscow to get discounted Russian energy.
