A five-member delegation from Sri Lanka's ruling Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) party, led by its general secretary Tilvin Silva, will visit India from September 27 to October 1, 2026. The trip is part of the "KNOW BJP" initiative and includes meetings with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and BJP national president Nitin Nabin, among other senior BJP leaders.

During their visit in India, the Sri Lankan delegates will engage with various BJP departments and morchas at the party headquarters in Delhi. They also plan to discuss strengthening ties between the two parties and exchange organizational experiences.
