The Cyprus Business Council (CBC) UAE was honoured to attend the Sri Lankan Business Council UAE Special Evening, themed βStrengthening Relationships, Enabling Opportunities.β
The event highlighted exciting investment opportunities in Sri Lanka, with particular focus on the transformative hashtag Colombo Economic Free Zone.
Representing the Cyprus Business Council, our General Secretary, Andreas Tsindos, had the privilege of engaging in high-level discussions with H.E. Arusha Cooray, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the UAE, and H.E. Hanif Yusoof, Governor of the Western Province of Sri Lanka and Special Envoy for Foreign Investment. Discussions focused on strengthening ties between Cyprus and Sri Lanka and exploring new avenues for collaboration, trade, and investment. Follow-up meetings were agreed to further advance these opportunities.
Andreas also had the opportunity to reconnect with fellow Business Council representatives, including Kanat Kutluk of the Turkish Business Council UAE and Ivan Mavrov of the Bulgarian Business Council UAE, exchanging updates and discussing areas of mutual interest and cooperation.
The evening provided a wonderful showcase of Sri Lankan culture, featuring traditional folk dances, cultural performances, and exceptional Sri Lankan cuisine.
A special thank you to Suren Swaminathan, Chairman of the Sri Lankan Business Council UAE, and his dedicated team for their outstanding hospitality. Congratulations on celebrating 35 years of success as one of the UAEβs leading business councils. We look forward to many more opportunities for collaboration between our councils in the years ahead.
