Sri Lanka and Malaysia have enjoyed a strong relationship that has lasted for decades and proved to be mutually beneficial for both countries. The Government of Sri Lanka has created extremely favourable conditions for foreign investment and I look forward to working with the Board of Investment on future projects in Sri Lanka.”
The project is scheduled for completion in 36 months and is valued at $ 36 million.
