The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and the Singapore-Sri Lanka Business Association (SSLBA) in collaboration with Sri Lanka High Commission in Singapore are organizing this seminar and networking session in conjunction with the ministerial delegation from Sri Lanka, led by His Honorable Mr. Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, Minister for Mass Media & Information and Minister for Enterprise Development & Investment Promotion.

Total trade between the two countries increased by 10% from S$1.3 billion in 2007 to S$1.5 billion in 2008. With the cessation of the insurgency in Sri Lanka, there is bright prospect for further improvements in bilateral trade and business-to-business links. Many new opportunities await Singapore companies interested to engage Sri Lanka now. The Sri Lanka delegation comprise 12 companies in the business areas of ICT software, ITES, BPO, export of coconut products, import of motor vehicles, logistics, freight forwarding, SMT assembly of PCBAs, jewellery production, supermarkets, healthcare & infrastructure projects (new roads, bridges, highways).

As seats are limited, members are encouraged to sign up for this seminar early to avoid disappointment.
