The 60th AGM of the National Chamber of Commerce was held on January 19 at the Kingsbury Hotel. Former President of the Chamber , Speaker Karu Jayasuriya was the Chief Guest while State Minister for Finance and Media, Eran Wickramaratne was Guest of Honour.
Outgoing President, Sujeewe Samaraweera in his address thanked his fellow Chamber members for their support during his tenure and urged them to carry on the good work , whilst supporting President Elect Asela De Livera.
A highlight of the proceedings was the presentation of the portrait gallery and tenures of Past Presidents and here the National Chamber has much to be proud of as they are the only Chamber in Sri Lanka to have had a lady President, namely Nirmali Samaratunga.
Another feature was the presentation of the Youth Forum of the National Chamber on their views and directions for the way forward for Sri Lanka. A welcome addition indeed as they will soon be the voice of Sri Lankan business.Pictures by Chaminda Niroshana
