Belarus and Sri Lanka are discussing the introduction of a visa-free regime and direct air links. The Belarusian Foreign Ministry reported this following meetings held by Belarus’s ambassador Mikhail Kasko at Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Ports and Civil Aviation.
Kasko held a meeting with Sri Lanka’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment, and Tourism Vijitha Herath.
