Sri Lanka is poised to launch Starlink satellite internet services, having completed all necessary Government approvals and regulatory requirements, Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Eranga Weeraratne confirmed.

The announcement was made during a high-level meeting in Singapore at the Asia Tech x Summit 2025, where Weeraratne met with the U.S. Ambassador Stephan Lang, Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy.
