A Sri Lankan trade delegation organised by the Embassy of Sri Lanka and the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) visited Riyadh from 29 October to 1 November.

The objective of the visit was to build relationships and establish trade links with Saudi Arabian businessmen and companies.

The visiting delegation had meetings with the Council of Saudi Chambers, Riyadh Chamber and the Saudi Fund for Development, the Saudi Export Program, Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and other important business organisations and leading entrepreneurs.

The Commercial Section of the Sri Lanka Embassy, in collaboration with Riyadh Chamber of Commerce, organised a business networking session for the delegation to find business partners in their respective fields and arranged separate business meetings for individual companies of the delegation as well.

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1839, is the oldest business chamber in Sri Lanka and is among the oldest in the Asian region. The CCC is the strongest private sector body which represents all business sectors and regions in Sri Lanka.
