International Relations and Tourism

Swiss airline Edelweiss Air is resuming flights to Sri Lanka for the winter season, and Brazil's President Lula responded to Sri Lanka's President's message. These developments signal renewed international engagement with Sri Lanka.

Nothing says "we're back on the map" like a Swiss airline deciding winter in Sri Lanka beats another Tuesday in Zurich, followed immediately by a presidential pen pal exchange that somehow made international news. It's giving "our entire foreign policy is now a series of polite emails and flight bookings."
