Colombo, March 19: Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama is scheduled to reach New Delhi on a three-day visit to hold talks with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on a wide range of issues relating to the security situation in the island nation.
The Lankan Minister will update India about the steps being taken by his government to ensure survival of the peace process in the face of upsurge in violence by LTTE.
Sri Lanka has been concerned over LTTE rebels getting continued supply of arms. It has asked India to step up patrolling on its side of the border, which was accepted last month.
During his talks with Mukherjee, the two sides are expected to discuss how patrolling could be undertaken effectively.
Bogollagama is also expected to meet Defence Minister A K Anthony.
Meetings with Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Commerce Minister Kamal Nath and Health Minister A Ramadoss are also expected.
The Sri Lankan Foreign Minister will meet former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Leader of Opposition L K Advani.
