Sri Lanka, April 24 -- President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Wednesday expressed gratitude to Iran for their technical support, emphasizing that without Iran's assistance, Sri Lanka could not have diverted the Uma Oya tributaries into Kirindi Oya.

The President stated this while addressing the gathering after both he and his Iranian counterpart, Dr. Ebrahim Raisi jointly inaugurated the Uma Oya Multipurpose Development Project (UOMDP), one of the largest irrigation projects in Sri Lanka following the Mahaweli Development Project.
