The 'Reflection of Sri Lanka' exhibition will be a unique opportunity
for Sri Lanka to show the world what it has become today and what
potential the country has to offer to the world, said Investment
Promotion Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena at a media conference on
the 'Reflection of Sri Lanka' exhibition to be held parallel to the
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting next month.
There are really two dimensions to this exhibition. At one level,
'Reflection of Sri Lanka' exposition is an economic event to promote
three important pillars upon which the Sri Lankan economy is based:
international trade, tourism and foreign investments.
Visitors to the exhibition will see what our island nation offers in
the key areas of the economy. They could also directly meet local
producers. The country's potential for tourism will be given prominence,
the Minister said. "There will be also a Board of Investment pavilion
which will act as a BOI one-stop-shop where experienced staff will help
and assist potential investors on the modalities for starting projects,"
he said. |
