SL-Romania Bilateral Mission: Focus on Labour & Digital Cooperation 📈

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment & Tourism, Vijitha Herath, will conduct an official visit to Romania from March 1–3, 2026, to strengthen economic and diplomatic ties. • Labour & Migration: A key highlight is the signing of a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in the field of Labour. This establishes a formal, transparent framework for structured labour mobility and safe migration between the two nations. • Strategic Meetings: Discussions are scheduled with Romanian Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Labour, and Economy to enhance bilateral relations across multiple sectors. • Economic Focus: Beyond foreign employment, talks will cover digitalization, entrepreneurship, and tourism to promote institutional cooperation and mutual economic interests. • Context: This mission prioritizes the ICT/BPM and tourism sectors while formalizing the export of skilled and semi-skilled labor to the European market—a vital source of foreign exchange for Sri Lanka.
