Lanka, Pakistan sign nuclear agreement

Sri Lanka and Pakistan signed six agreements including one on atomic energy yesterday, the two countries' leaders said, as the strategically important island looks to build its first nuclear plant.
Details of the agreement were not immediately available but it comes after Sri Lanka signed a pact with India in February to build its atomic energy infrastructure, including training of personnel.
Sri Lanka's new president Maithripala Sirisena arrival in Pakistan Sunday for a three-day state visit has been watched by observers for clues over any further changes in Colombo's foreign policy.
