A new board was elected for Sri Lanka Singapore Business Council during its 13th Annual General Meeting that was held recently at the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce.

Shamil Mendis, Group Director of Delmege Forsyth & Co., Ltd was elected President of the Council for the year 2010/2011. Mr. Mendis, in his address, stated that the Council with its membership of over 50 reputed companies serves as a recognized representative of the business sector facilitating the exchange of information on trade, investment and engaging in other relevant activities to strengthen and expand business relations between Sri Lanka and Singapore.

Mendis emphasized that an important objective of the Council was to organize promotional programs to optimize opportunities for its members to do business with Singapore. In this regard, a highly successful seminar was held in Singapore by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Singapore Business Council and the Sri Lanka High Commission in Singapore. The success of the seminar was reflected by the fact that three delegations, two led by IE Singapore and another led by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) visited Sri Lanka in 2010. Mr. Mendis further stated that similar business promotional activities as well as other events will be held in the forthcoming year for the benefit of the members of the Council. The vision of the Council is to exploit the many opportunities that prevail for the furtherance of bilateral trade, joint ventures, services and tourism between Singapore and Sri Lanka and the Council functions as a vital link in this respect said Mr. Mendis.
