Chairman ACIFMA Bruno Langfritz who was in Sri Lanka as a precursor to the arrangements for October stated, “I’m thrilled to have Colombo hosting this very prestigious event in our calendar as it not only showcases the beauty of this magnificent island but also the important role it is slated to play in financial markets in this region, which to me will be one of the most crucial driving forces in regional financial markets in the future.”
President of SLFA K Shanaka C Perera added that as Sri Lanka looks towards the future post some traumatic experiences in the recent months, this is certainly an absolute positive for the country in terms of highlighting that Sri Lankan MICE tourism too is also very much open for business.
