Colombo, April 8 (SPA) - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived in Sri Lanka on Friday on a two-day leg of a South Asian tour, where he will sign a clutch of bilateral agreements and visit a fishing harbour hammered by December's tsunami. Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry officials said Wen would call on President Chandrika Kumaratunga on Friday afternoon and approve agreements on trade relations, agriculture and debt relief. He is then due on Saturday to inaugurate post-tsunami reconstruction in the fishing town of Panadura, 20 miles (35 km) south of Colombo, which the Chinese government is funding. --SPA 1440 Local Time 1140 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/253017
