Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday visit Sri Lanka's Tamil heartland Jaffna, a Buddhist temple in Anuradhapura and north-western town of Talaimannar.
He will be the first Indian Prime Minister and only the second foreign leader after British Premier David Cameron to visit Jaffna in the Northern province, where he will hand over homes built with the help of Indian assistance.
Some 20,000 such homes were built in Jaffna described by India as a flagship cooperation project currently in Sri Lanka.
Prime Minister Modi will also be laying the foundation stone for the iconic Jaffna Cultural Centre.
He will inaugurate the Talaimannar pier railway station and flag off Talaimannar- Medawachchiya train. India was involved in the construction of the railway track.
The Prime Minister had earlier on Friday called for regional integration and cooperation, adding that barriers of boundaries inhibit progress and international partnerships give it speed.
Prime Minister Modi had also offered prayers and planted a sapling at the Maha Bodhi society in Colombo.
He also offered 'daana' to the Buddhist monks at the Maha Bodhi Society, where school children had lined up to welcome him.
The Prime Minister is in Sri Lanka on the third and final leg of his five-day three-nation tour and is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Sri Lanka in 28 years.
