Meetings in Sydney to promote SL – Australia ties

Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner in Australia Chitrangani Wagiswara paid an official call on Multiculturalism, Small Business, Lands and Property and Sport of New South Wales (NSW) Minister Steve Kamper recently at his office.

The Minister spoke of the large number of Sri Lankan expatriates who have made their mark in NSW and noted that most of the Sri Lankans are very well educated and well integrated into the Australian society. The Minister has been closely involved with most of the activities which are organised by Sri Lankan associations in Sydney. The High Commissioner said that she was pleased to note the encouraging sentiments expressed by the Minister.

The two sides discussed avenues for further cooperation and the need for the State Government’s assistance in promoting links between Australia and Sri Lanka especially in the trade sector.

It was agreed that the High Commission and the State Minister’s Office would keep in close contact to facilitate and promote further links that would be mutually beneficial.

During the visit to Sydney, Sri Lanka Australia Chamber of Commerce President Kelum de Silva organised a Business Round Table on November 8. Australia – Sri Lanka Business Council Members also attended the Round Table.
