Cabinet Ministers at its meeting on Tuesday green-lighted to sign off a bilateral aviation agreement between the Kingdom of Netherlands and Sri Lanka aiming to boost air connectivity based on the specifics discussed between the two countries.

“It may further develop tourist, education, trade, investment, agriculture and cultural relations between the two countries,” Cabinet Co-Spokesman and Minster Bandula Gunawardena said at the post-Cabinet meeting media briefing yesterday.

The proposal to this effect submitted by Ports, Shipping and Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva was approved by the Cabinet Ministers on Tuesday.

“The diplomatic relations between Sri Lanka and the Kingdom of Netherlands were inaugurated back in 1951 and an aviation accord may lead to initiating direct flights for passengers and crates between the two countries,” a statement containing the weekly Cabinet Decisions issued by the Government Information Department noted.
