Ambassador's Message

I have made the promotion of bilateral economic relations between France and Sri Lanka one of the priorities of my mandate. In order to develop these links, it is essential to be able to rely on adequate platforms to support the activities of French and Sri Lankan companies in our respective markets.

Such is the purpose of the Sri Lanka France Business Council, which helps promote the interests of private actors engaged in our bilateral trade and investments and encourages contacts and avenues of cooperation between our two countries.

I am convinced that France has a lot to offer to Sri Lanka, and vice versa, in strategic areas of importance for both countries, such as agriculture and food, logistics, water and sanitation, digital technology, renewable energy or the green and blue economy. The Sri Lanka France Business Council is the right forum to develop this potential.

The Economic Department of our Embassy, whose missions include promoting French companies and their representatives in Sri Lanka, has found a trusted partner in the Sri Lanka France Business Council. I am grateful for the impressive results already achieved and I want our working relationship to further intensify in order to support even better the French-Sri Lankan economic actors!”
