The Consulate General of Sri Lanka in Toronto, in collaboration with the Canada-Sri Lanka Business Convention, hosted a cordial reception to welcome a high-level trade delegation from Sri Lanka visiting Canada to participate in SIAL 2025f one of North America’s premier trade fairs for Organic Foods and Beverages taking place in Toronto from April 29 to May 1, 2025.

The visiting delegation, led by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), aims to explore new market opportunities, build business partnerships, and showcase Sri Lanka’s growing potential in the organic food and beverage industry.

During the reception, the delegates had the opportunity to network with members of the Canada-Sri Lanka Business Convention, prominent media companies, and leading legal professionals.
