Sri Lanka’s president said Thursday that he would ask Japan to initiate debt restructuring talks with Sri Lanka’s main creditors, including China and India, as the crisis-hit nation strives to revive its collapsed economy.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe said that he would travel to Japan in September to discuss the matter with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
