Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton, will visit Colombo in Sri Lanka today, with a bid to stop asylum seekers and people smuggling at the top of his agenda.

 

A spokesperson for Mr Dutton, said his purpose was to implement the interests of ‘Operation Sovereign Borders’ and to discuss counter terrorism matters.

 

It comes after a boat carrying 20 Sri Lankan asylum seekers was intercepted off Australia’s coast last week.
