Cabinet Spokesperson Rajitha Senaratne said the bilateral technical cooperation between the governments of Sri Lanka and Thailand plays a major role in Human Resources development in Sri Lanka.

The Thailand International Development Cooperation Agency (TICA) with the assistance of the Sri Lankan government has prepared a five year plan for offering scholarships and training programs to Sri Lanka during the period of 2015-2019.

These programs will be in the fields of agriculture, food technology, rural development and self-sufficient economy, tourism management and diplomatic training.

Accordingly the proposal made by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, in his capacity as the Minister of National Policies and Economic Affairs to sign a MoU with the Thai Government and the Thailand International Development Cooperation Agency has been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
