Ridma DISSANAYAKE

The Norwegian government will send an official team from NORAD, Fisheries Department and the Maritime Institute to Sri Lanka in April on a fact finding mission.

This was revealed during a meeting between Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development Minister Dr Rajitha Senaratne and Norwegian Ambassador Hilde Haraldstad recently.

The ambassador called on the minister at the ministry to discuss assistance for development of fisheries harbours in the North and East.

This is subsequent to a recent visit to Norway by Minister Senaratne where he held discussions with top officials.
