Colombo, April 20 (Daily Mirror) - The Foreign Affairs Ministry has decided to open a Sri Lanka High Commission in Wellington, New Zealand.

Currently, Sri Lanka has a Consulate in Wellington and the establishment of this High Commissioner's office will be based on a decision taken by the Cabinet on a proposal presented by Foreign Affairs Minister Ali Sabri, during the first Cabinet meeting for 2024.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that a delegation led by the Director General of the Foreign Assets Management and Development Division will visit New Zealand on April 22 to examine the issue.

Among the primary objectives of this is to develop cooperation between the two countries in the fields of trade, education, sports, science and technology, tourism and health.

This was a much needed HC when a large number of Sri Lankans reside in New Zealand. We have HCs in countries like Seychelles where our people are scarce.

They have somebody in mind so open a consulate and send the guys. For what to promote what. Pls tell the people what our embessies and consultes do for the country?

Since we seem to be opening and closing consulates, why not save tge SL taxpayer money by keeping the consulate and its staff on a leaky boat. Tgat way we can sail it to wherever we want a consulate and be ready and operational. For land locked areas use a Barra karthe instead of a leaky boat.
