The Acting High Commissioner briefed Minister Gunawardena on the various initiatives being undertaken by the Government of Pakistan to boost bilateral trade, investment and economic cooperation, with a particular focus on promoting Pakistan’s Buddhist tourism in Sri Lanka.

Both sides agreed to undertake all possible measures to resolving impediments in a mutually-beneficial way in order to realise the high bilateral trade potential between the two friendly countries.

The Acting High Commissioner invited Minister Gunawardena to undertake a visit to Pakistan at an early convenience, which would give boost to bilateral trade, joint ventures and economic cooperation between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
