During the visit, the delegation explored UNESCO World Heritage sites, experienced Sri Lanka’s famous Ceylon Tea culture, enjoyed the scenic beauty of the hill country, and took part in a wildlife safari at Yala National Park. Participants also conducted hotel inspections at several leading hospitality properties, gaining valuable insights into Sri Lanka’s tourism infrastructure and travel experiences suitable for Vietnamese travelers.

Joined the official welcome ceremony held this morning (08) at the Presidential Secretariat in honour of the President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam, H.E. Tô Lâm, who is currently undertaking a state visit to Sri Lanka.
The visit is particularly significant as it marks the first visit to Sri Lanka by a Vietnamese President in 15 years. The ceremonial welcome was conducted with great warmth and dignity, symbolising the longstanding friendship and 56 years of diplomatic relations between Sri Lanka and Viet Nam.
Taking place at a time when Sri Lanka is steadily progressing towards economic stability under the present Government, the visit of the Vietnamese President is expected to open a new chapter in Sri Lanka–Viet Nam economic, cultural and social relations.
