The Sri Lanka-Singapore Business Council (SLSBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce with the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) conducted a survey involving selected Singapore companies successfully operating in Sri Lanka, to encourage bilateral trade between Sri Lanka and Japan and to enhance Japan's direct investments in Sri Lanka. This initiative is the first of its kind by the SLSBC. The Council will set up strategic and mutually beneficial partnerships by expanding co-operation with similar trade organisations including those of countries with the potential for increasing bilateral trade and investment in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lanka-Singapore Business Council will strengthen its links with such organisations to broaden its reach for more business opportunities for the benefit of its members.
