Members of the Executive committee of the Sri Lanka-Benelux Business
Council (SLBBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce paid a courtesy call
on Netherlands Ambassador Louis W.M. Piet at the Embassy of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands recently.
Economic and Commercial Policy Advisor of the Embassy, Sanjeewa
Sellahewa was also present.
The Ambassador outlined the events organised by the Embassy for this
year. As business and ministerial delegations are due to visit Sri
Lanka, the Ambassador called upon the Council to furnish detailed
information on sectors of interest to promote Sri Lanka in the
Netherlands and vice versa.
The Netherlands grants assistance to Sri Lankan businesses through
institutions such as CBI and PUM. He encouraged the group to make
maximum use of the available opportunities.
SLBBC President Jayantha Panabokke called upon the Ambassador to
support the Council and build links between the SLBBC and counterpart
organisations in the Netherlands.
The group discussed ways to promote trade and investment between Sri
Lanka and the Netherlands, especially in sectors such as agriculture,
dairy and tourism.
