"This expansion of aviation arrangements will facilitate the movement of people and goods and will provide new business opportunities for the aviation industries of both countries to the benefit of their peoples," the foreign ministry said.

"Further, this arrangement would enable for Sri Lankan and Korean companies to expand their business/investments while boosting Korean tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka.
