Sri Lanka seeks investors for loss-making Mattala airport built with Chinese loans

Sri Lanka is seeking investors for Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport. The airport has been a financial drain since opening in 2013. A previous lease agreement with an Indo-Russian venture did not materialize. The government highlights the airport's potential for tourism and strategic investment. This move comes as Sri Lanka privatizes state-owned enterprises following a financial crisis.
