The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Yangon participated in the Myanmar International Business Trade Show and Travel Expo 2026, held from 4 to 7 September 2026 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Yangon.
It was organised by the STP Event Management Team, with the participation of the Embassies of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, prominent Myanmar business organisations and other key stakeholders.
The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Myanmar, Prabashini Ponnamperuma, delivered the Opening Speech and participated in a Panel Discussion. During these engagements, the Ambassador highlighted the longstanding and cordial relations between Sri Lanka and Myanmar and emphasised the importance of further strengthening bilateral cooperation in tourism, trade, investment and people-to-people connectivity.
She also highlighted Sri Lanka’s diverse tourism attractions.
As part of the Embassy’s participation, a Sri Lanka Promotional Booth was established throughout the exhibition to showcase Sri Lanka’s tourism attractions, Buddhist heritage, cultural traditions, and trade and investment opportunities. The Embassy also promoted Ceylon Tea, providing visitors with an opportunity to learn about the quality and heritage of Sri Lanka’s tea industry.
The Sri Lanka Promotional Booth attracted considerable interest from visitors, business representatives, travel industry professionals and other participants. Information and promotional materials on Sri Lanka’s tourism, cultural and Buddhist heritage, trade and investment opportunities, and Ceylon Tea were disseminated to enhance awareness among the Myanmar public and business community.
The event also provided an important platform for the Embassy to engage with Myanmar business and tourism stakeholders, explore potential areas of cooperation and strengthen existing contacts with the private sector and relevant organisations.
The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Yangon remains committed to promoting and strengthening economic, tourism, trade, cultural and people-to-people relations between Sri Lanka and Myanmar through continued engagement with government institutions, business organisations, tourism stakeholders and the wider community in Myanmar.
The Embassy expressed its sincere appreciation to the STP Event Management Team for providing the opportunity for Sri Lanka to participate in the event and for its valuable cooperation and support in facilitating the Embassy’s participation
