Pompeo to hold two-way talks in Colombo on October 28

COLOMBO: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will hold two-way talks in Colombo on Oct. 28, said Sri Lankan officials.

According to Reuters, Pompeo is likely to stop in the Maldives’ capital of Male for several hours on the same day.

“Incoming visits of official foreign delegations will be announced once a visit is scheduled and confirmed,” the Maldives’ Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

China’s top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, visited Colombo this month.

Last week, an Indian government source said Pompeo was also set to visit New Delhi this month, along with Defense Secretary Mark Esper, for talks with Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
