Raisi arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday to inaugurate a hydro-power irrigation scheme that had long been delayed due to international sanctions.
The project, valued at $514 million, was started in 2010 by Iran’s FARAB engineering group and Iran initially provided $50 million. But in 2013, funding could not be continued because of international sanctions against Iran. The Sri Lankan government then decided to complete the project with its own funds using the same Iranian contractor.
