Seeking a ‘new beginning’ in bilateral ties, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena today left for a four-day state visit to India, his maiden foreign trip after he assumed charge last month.

During the visit, the 63-year-old leader is expected to meet his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee besides holding talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on key issues, including peace and reconciliation process in his country.
