The Sri Lanka – Japan Business Forum was successfully held on 16 February 2026. The forum brought together business leaders, government representatives, and industry professionals from both Sri Lanka and Japan to strengthen bilateral trade and investment relations.

Organized by JETRO and the Japan–Sri Lanka Business Co-operation Committee (JSLBCC), with the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the event served as a platform to promote collaboration, knowledge exchange, and new business opportunities.

We were also honored by the presence of Ms. Okumura Akiko, Executive Vice President of JETRO, whose participation further emphasized JETRO’s strong commitment to enhancing business and economic ties between the two countries.

With strong participation and active engagement from both sides, the event reinforced the growing economic ties between Japan and Sri Lanka and highlighted the shared commitment to long-term cooperation.
