The ceremonial session of the 56th Annual General Meeting of the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka will be held on 20 January 2015 at the Balmoral Ballroom, Kingsbury Hotel, Colombo commencing at 6 p.m.
The Chief Guest for the occasion will be Deshabandu Karu Jayasuriya, Minister of Public Administration, Democratic Rule and Buddha Sasana.
Karu Jayasuriya had been a Past President of the National Chamber and the Chamber is delighted to receive him soon after his new appointment.
The Guest of Honour will be Dr. Eteri Kvintradze, IMF Resident Representative, for Sri Lanka and Maldives, who will address the audience.
The National Chamber was formed just after Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948 with a clear objective of developing the indigenous business houses and to become the voice of the Sri Lankan enterprises particularly in the early independent period when Ceylonisation of business and commerce was needed. Even today the National Chamber has a greater focus on the Sri Lankan enterprises and has a distinct program to uplift the small and medium industries. The Chamber has 630 corporate members and over 1,000 SMEs connected throughout the island.
