Having conveyed the greetings of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the High Commissioner expressed Sri Lanka’s interest in reinvigorating ties between Kerala and Sri Lanka encompassing all spheres. The High Commissioner emphasised that although the economies of Kerala and Sri Lanka appear similar at first glance, there is potential to create synergies and leverage market advantage through creation of a common platform and conduct of research on commodities that both Sri Lanka and Kerala dominate in the world market.
