The Australian Government has gifted a former Royal Australian Air Force aircraft to Sri Lanka.
Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Paul Stephens formally handed over a letter from Australian Minister of Home Affairs, Clare O’Neil to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, offering the Beechcraft KA350 aircraft.
The Beechcraft KA350 King Air is a modern twin-engine turboprop aircraft.
“This gift will strengthen Sri Lanka’s ability to protect its maritime security. It is a further demonstration of our close collaboration in combatting transnational crime” the High Commissioner said via a Tweet on Friday (12). (NewsWire)
