Senior Vice President, FCCISL, Keerthi Gunawardane welcomed Dr. Kohona and conducted this event.
Dr. Kohona making the keynote address outlined Sri Lanka’s strategic importance in the Asian region and also from a global trade perspective because of her geographical location in the Indian Ocean.
He said that since Sri Lankan exports to China are very low (450) as against imported (2,500) and this underlines the tremendous export potential to China. China has become the world largest economy passing the United States during the Covid 10 era. The Chinese economy is not affected by the covid-19 pandemic and hence purchasing powers of their citizens are very high.
