Mr Abe stressed during his speech before the press that is grand-father, Nobusuke Kishi, had also been the first Japanese prime minister to visit Sri Lanka. Mr Abe’s visit resulted in important maritime deals with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Since the end of the civil war 5 years ago and with political stability, Sri Lanka has been developing rapidly. JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) released a report in 2013 encouraging Japanese companies to invest and to open manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka.
