09 Jun 2022

  • Says letter handed over to Putin; Russia awaits GoSL assurance on resuming flights 
  • Ex-Prez seeks Russia’s help in agri economy 
BY Dinitha Rathnayake  Russian Federation Ambassador to Sri Lanka Yury Materiy paid a courtesy call on former President and incumbent MP Maithripala Sirisena at the latter’s official residence yesterday (9), where they discussed Sirisena’s request to Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning Aeroflot flights to Sri Lanka. The duo exchanged views on the matter and Materiy confirmed that the letter sent by Sirisena to Putin had been forwarded to the Russian President by the Russian Embassy in Sri Lanka. Materiy has told Sirisena that Russia is willing to resume flights to Sri Lanka, but that it needs a certificate from the Sri Lankan Government. Sirisena, on his part, also called on the Ambassador to extend Russia’s support to Sri Lanka’s agrarian economy, to which the Ambassador responded positively. In his letter sent on Sunday (5), Sirisena urged Putin to reconsider the suspension of Aeroflot flights to Sri Lanka in light of this situation, and to continue supporting Sri Lanka as Russia always has. The letter read: “The people of our two nations enjoy a friendship that goes back many, many decades, one that has weathered many geopolitical storms. Our friendship is one of mutual respect and not one based on transactional benefits. Sri Lanka will remember the help and support of your great nation during the 30-year civil war that ended in 2009, help that came to us with no expectation and obligation. We remember and appreciate this gesture, amongst many others.”
