The Export Development Board of Sri Lanka has booked a separate pavilion at the Expo Centre Karachi to showcase the Sri Lankan products.

During the stay in Pakistan, the Sri Lankan delegation will interact with the representatives of various business chambers and hold B2B meetings with Pakistani businessmen.
