Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath has identified the redevelopment of the Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm as a long-term solution to the country’s ongoing fuel and energy challenges. The government plans to modernise the Second World War-era storage facility and develop Trincomalee into a regional energy hub through a tripartite partnership with India and the United Arab Emirates. This initiative follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in April 2025 during the visit of Narendra Modi.
