A high level group of Indian investors selected by the Indian Government is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka early next year, a senior BOI official said.

“A group of 20 top-notch Indian investors are scheduled to come to Sri Lanka in search of investment opportunities,” Board of Investment (BOI) Chairman Upul Jayasuriya said.

Noting that this was a result of Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe’s recent visit to India, he said that a similar response had been received from Japan as well.

Jayasuriya further asserted that the Indian Government would select these visiting top businessmen by early next year.

“With the country now embarking on creating a liberalised regime where the investment climate is characterised by the rule of law and a level playing field for all investors, the country has received a significant response from investors all over the world,” he added. (CDS)
