Sri Lanka discussed investment and trade opportunities with the Sri Lankan diaspora at a forum in the UK.
A roundtable presentation followed by a networking lunch on ‘Investment and Trade Opportunities in Sri Lanka’ for the British – Sri Lankan business community was held at the Holiday Inn Kensington High Street in London, the Foreign Ministry said.
In her opening remarks, Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to the UK Manisha Gunasekera welcomed the convening of the first diaspora outreach event organised under the Foreign Ministry’s Economic Diplomacy Programme.
She expressed the interest and intent of the Sri Lanka Government to build on this initiative and reach out to many more potential investors and business persons from the British – Sri Lankan community in the future.
She also requested the dissemination of information communicated at the forum among participant contacts and networks for optimum results.
The High Commissioner also appreciated the efforts of those community representatives who supported the event by tapping into potential investors and businesspersons who were thus engaged.
Selected members of the British – Sri Lankan community representing all ethnicities, i.e., Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim, with investment or trade potential or already engaged in business, participated in the roundtable on the invitation of the High Commission.
