Additionally, President Ranil Wickremesinghe took part in a high-profile business roundtable discussion titled “Economic Opportunities in Sri Lanka.” This event, jointly organized by the Business Council for International Understanding and the Embassy of Sri Lanka in the United States of America, also took place yesterday.

Alongside them were prominent representatives from Sri Lanka’s private sector and a delegation of senior officials from the United States government. This discussion aimed to foster economic opportunities and strengthen bilateral relations between the two nations.
