Japan is seeking to organise a Sri Lanka creditors’ conference, to help solve the South Asia nation’s debt crisis, the foreign media reported. According to the foreign media, Tokyo is open to hosting talks among all the creditor nations aimed at lifting Colombo from its worst debt crisis since independence, but it is not clear whether top creditor China would join and a lack of clarity remain about Sri Lanka’s finances. 

President Ranil Wickremesinghe will travel to Japan next month. He is expected to hold talks with the leaders in Tokyo regarding the debt crisis.
