TOKYO -- Sri Lanka is calling for new investments from Japan after reaching an agreement to restructure $5.8 billion of debt with creditors, including Japan, India and China, hoping to revive its economy and achieve balanced diplomacy.
"We expect the [Japan-funded] project to commence anytime" after finalizing a debt restructuring deal process, said Ali Sabry, Sri Lanka's minister of foreign affairs, in an interview with Nikkei Asia on Wednesday.
