MEA Jaishankar participated BIMSTEC meeting in Colombo

External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on Tuesday participated in the 18th BIMSTEC Ministerial Meeting in Colombo. In his address, Dr Jaishankar emphasized the grouping's commitment to intensify and expand areas of cooperation, especially connectivity, energy and maritime cooperation. He stressed on encouraging active business collaboration and common projects to this end.
The External Affairs Minister said, cooperation on port facilities, ferry services, coastal shipping, grid connectivity and motor vehicles movement are key. He said, BIMSTEC Nations must also collectively combat terrorism, violent extremism, transnational crime, cyber-attacks and narco-trafficking. Dr Jaishankar said, he is looking forward to the adoption of BIMSTEC Charter and Master Plan at the Summit.

Jaishnakar  offered assistance to a government hospital that had to cease all surgeries due to a scarcity of drugs. Disturbed by reports that all surgeries at the Peradeniya Teaching Hospital in Kandy have been halted, Jaishnakar asked Gopal Baglay, the Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, to investigate how New Delhi could aid in addressing the matter.

Due to a serious scarcity of medications, including anaesthetic drug Neostigmine, which is used to reverse the effects of anaesthesia medication used during surgery, hospital management decided to postpone all procedures. Due to the acute dollar crisis, Sri Lanka has cut back on major imports, including vital pharmaceuticals, resulting in a shortage of essential medicines in both state and private hospitals and pharmacies.
