Sri Lanka to seek investors for Hambantota oil refinery

(Reuters) - Sri Lanka will call for an expression of interest from investors in a new oil refinery in the southern town of Hambantota, Power Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said on Tuesday.

The decision was made by the government's cabinet, Wijesekera wrote on Twitter. Hambantota is also the site of a Chinese-built port.
