Japan will be represented by Hirofumi Katase, Vice-Minister for International Affairs, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Kenichi Suganuma, Ambassador of Japan and other senior officials of relevant Ministries at these meetings, while Malik Samarawickrama, Minister of Development Strategies and International Trade and Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy, Governor of the Central Bank, will represent Sri Lanka.
