Welcome to the Official Website of the High Commission of Sri Lanka in India

The High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi, established in 1948, is the country’s first overseas diplomatic mission. It plays a key role in strengthening longstanding ties between Sri Lanka and India, built on shared history, culture, and close geographical connections.

The High Commission promotes bilateral relations across diplomatic, economic, cultural, and social spheres, while providing essential consular services to Sri Lankan citizens in India and supporting people-to-people engagement between the two nations.

Sri Lanka’s presence in New Delhi began in 1942 as the Representative Office of Ceylon, led by Sir D. B. Jayathilake, and was established as a High Commission in 1948 after independence.
