The Malaysia-Sri Lanka Business Council has been revived after being defunct for several years, says the Sri Lanka High Commission in Kuala Lumpur.
The decision was made following a meeting which was coordinated by Acting High Commissioner Major General S.W.L. Daulagala with representatives of core business organisations.
“The business council will serve as a driving force to strengthen business and investment ties between private sector stakeholders, entrepreneurs and investors in Sri Lanka and Malaysia,” Daulagala said in a statement.
He thanked members of the council for their interest to resuscitate the Malaysia-Sri Lanka Business Council.
During the meeting, Axiata Group Director and Dialog Bhd Chairman Datuk Azzat Kamaluddin was appointed council chairman.
The meeting discussed details to execute an action plan to strengthen business contacts with Malaysian and Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and investors, as well as, enhance relations with business chambers.
The business council will soon invite Malaysian business organisations to become members of the council, the statement added. - BERNAMA
