Chinese Minister of Commerce to lead high-level delegation to Sri Lanka

Accompanied by a delegation of 115 representatives from 77 prominent Chinese companies, Wang's visit aims to explore new business and investment opportunities in Sri Lanka.

The delegation's visit will include participation in a major business conference organized by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, scheduled to take place in Colombo on May 30th. The event will serve as a platform for fostering business ties and exploring potential collaborations between Chinese enterprises and Sri Lankan industries.

In addition to bilateral trade, the Chinese delegation is expected to discuss areas such as infrastructure development, technology transfer, and investment in key sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism.

This visit comes at a time when both countries are looking to expand and diversify their economic partnerships, particularly in light of recent global developments. With China being Sri Lanka’s largest trading partner and a key investor, this visit is anticipated to further enhance the economic cooperation between the two nations.

The Sri Lankan government is optimistic that the talks will lead to significant progress in strengthening bilateral ties, particularly in terms of trade, investment, and job creation.
