An honorary consulate of Sri Lanka will be opened in the Kerala capital, Cochin on Wednesday by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
Speaking to IANS, A. Jayaprakash, advisor to the Honorary Consul Joemon Joseph said this new beginning will be a boost for business between Kerala and Sri Lanka.
"Tourism is one business that will get a major boost both in Kerala and Sri Lanka as people from both these places do travel up and down. Another important gain would be for the business community as there would be more trade and business activities," said Jayaprakash.
