ABC Trade and Investments Ltd., has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the All-China Environment Federation (ACEF). 

The partnership establishes a collaborative framework aimed at accelerating new-energy development, water management, and environmental protection projects across Sri Lanka.  

The agreement bridges advanced Chinese engineering capabilities, equipment, technical expertise, and investment resources with ABC Trade and Investments’ local operational strength, market insight, and project implementation skills. By pairing international technology with on-the-ground execution, the initiative is designed to address Sri Lanka’s long-term environmental and civil infrastructure priorities.

A statement said ABC Trade and Investments’ as a leading home-grown conglomerate in Sri Lanka’s ICT distribution and diversified business landscape.

The MoU signing took place during the China–Sri Lanka Environmental and Energy Exchange and Cooperation Meeting at the Nondescripts Cricket Club Grounds in Colombo, held under the theme “Empower Green Development, Jointly Build a New Pattern of China–Sri Lanka Environmental and Energy Industry.”  

ABC Trade and Investment Ltd., Director/CEO Amalrajah Jayaseelan said: “ACEF gives us access to a wider network of Chinese environmental and engineering capabilities, while we bring an understanding of local requirements, regulations, and implementation realities. Our focus is now on identifying the right technologies, adapting them to local conditions, and developing practical projects that address real needs in water, clean energy, and environmental management.”  

The scope of the cooperation spans a broad spectrum of environmental applications. Priority areas identified for immediate project development include integrated urban and rural water supply and drainage systems, domestic sewage treatment upgrades, industrial park wastewater management, village drinking water purification, distributed renewable energy installations, and clean energy systems linked directly to water infrastructure.   

The partnership leverages the complementary strengths of both organisations. ACEF brings a vast network of Chinese enterprises operating across environmental protection, water engineering, renewable energy, and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) investment. ABC Trade and Investments contributes a nationwide service infrastructure and specialised expertise through its Water Science Division, which provides end-to-end management spanning consultation, solution design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, and long-term Operation and Maintenance (OandM).  

The MoU establishes a structured, long-term cooperation framework under which individual commercial and technical projects will be identified, evaluated, and contracted independently. By matching proven environmental technologies with local realities, ABC Trade and Investments and ACEF aim to build practical, scalable infrastructure solutions that support sustainable development throughout Sri Lanka.
