Sri Lanka is now emerging as a competitive and vibrant destination for trade and investment. There are many opportunities in the area since May 2009. It is the right time to consider joint investments between our investors and invite the Thai government to invest in our government debentures, President further said.
Thai Prime Minister said her government will encourage Thai investors to make use of the opportunities that Sri Lanka has to offer.
We also should work closely in promoting more business opportunities in the small and medium industrial sector.

Sri Lanka had made great strides under your able leadership, she told President.
Thailand will always extend support to maintain peace and stability in Sri Lanka, the Prime Minister added.
