SL sweeps into final with 6-wicket win

The second meeting of the Japan–Sri Lanka Committee on Business Environment convened yesterday (Nov. 27) at the Board of Investment (BOI) of Sri Lanka.

Representatives from the Embassy of Japan, the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI), relevant Japanese companies operating in Sri Lanka, as well as officials from the BOI and other pertinent Sri Lankan authorities, participated in the meeting. The two sides engaged in substantive discussions on a range of business-related issues currently faced by Japanese enterprises in Sri Lanka.

As Sri Lanka continues on a steady path towards sustainable economic recovery, discussions in this Committee are timely and important. This is also underscored in the Japan–Sri Lanka Joint Statement issued on 29th September, which noted, “Both sides observed the significant opportunities that lie in the area of trade and investment and affirmed the importance of further improving the business environment in Sri Lanka, including transparency, predictability, and non-discriminatory treatment. In this regard, both sides welcomed the launch of the Japan–Sri Lanka Committee on Business Environment in August this year, which is to be held on a quarterly basis.”
