#internationalnews #latestnews #ebrahimraisi

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi inaugurated the Uma Oya hydro power project during his visit to Sri Lanka on April 24. The $514-million project, initiated in 2010, faced financial setbacks due to U.S. sanctions, compelling Sri Lanka to finance the remainder. Despite delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and local protests, the project has been completed. Its significance lies in its contribution of 290 GWh to the national grid and provision of water to 6,000 hectares of farmland, benefiting thousands of families across three districts. Raisi’s presence underscores the strengthening bilateral ties between Iran and Sri Lanka, emphasizing the potential for collaboration and mutual development.
