The Sri Lanka–Japan Business Council (SLJBC) of The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that a high-level business delegation of 18 top Sri Lankan business leaders, representing some of Sri Lanka’s most dynamic industry sectors, will visit Japan, later this month.
Led by Mr. Krishan Balendra, Chairperson of the Ceylon Chamber, the visit will coincide with the forthcoming official visit of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to Japan.
A central feature of the visit will be the Business Forum in Tokyo, organised in partnership with the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI), the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This high-profile platform is designed to facilitate new trade, investment, and collaboration opportunities between the two countries.
Beyond Tokyo, the delegation will participate in targeted B2B sessions in Osaka, organized by the Export Development Board, enabling Sri Lankan companies to connect directly with potential Japanese partners. The team will also participate in “Sri Lanka Day” at Expo 2025 Osaka, showcasing Sri Lanka’s culture, heritage, and economic strengths.
The SLJBC, as the foremost bilateral business council fostering economic ties between Sri Lanka and Japan, believes this mission will play a vital role in deepening bilateral relations and unlocking new opportunities for investment and cooperation.
