The Sri Lanka-Australia-New Zealand Business Council (SLANZ BC) of the CCC, which is the main arm promoting business interactions between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, too joined NZTE and the CCC at a discussion forum, at which Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake briefed the delegates on the new thrust sectors and the progressive initiatives of the Sri Lanka government’s strategic plans to attract foreign direct investments (FDIs) to Sri Lanka and areas of assistance to investors from New Zealand.
