The delegation is participating in “Voyage Sri Lanka,” an event organized by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), which seeks to promote trade and investment opportunities in the maritime sector. Apart from meeting with the EDB and the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB), the delegation will interact with key Sri Lankan chambers, including the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and the Indo Lanka Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ILCCI). Meetings with prominent corporate entities, such as the Capital Maharaja Group, and other stakeholders are also planned.
