A historic milestone in international relations was marked as Belavia, the national airline of Belarus, officially launched its direct flights to Sri Lanka. This significant initiative paves the way for greater collaboration in tourism, trade, and education between the two nations, symbolizing a new era of connectivity and friendship.

Representing Sri Lanka with distinction, Dr. Amila Kulathunga, CEO of IMC, attended the ceremony as a distinguished invitee, highlighting IMC’s role in fostering global educational partnerships and cross-cultural exchange.

Adding a vibrant cultural touch to the occasion, talented Sri Lankan students from Vitebsk State Medical University, Puradi Punchihewa, Dilakshi Nethmini, Tharushi Nethmi, and Isuri Udagedara, performed a captivating traditional dance under the banner of @mixfeeds_vsmu. Their graceful performance not only celebrated Sri Lankan culture but also served as a symbol of the growing friendship and mutual respect between Belarus and Sri Lanka.

The event stood as a proud moment for both nations, reflecting shared aspirations for progress, partnership, and people-to-people connections.
