Commonwealth Business Council looks to increase investment in SL

The Director General of the Commonwealth Business Council, Mr Peter Callaghan, met Sri Lanka’s Minister of External Affairs, G.L Peiris, for discussions relating to the arrangements for the Business Forum, a side-line event that will be held at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

The Ministry of External Affairs has claimed that the Commonwealth Business Council in London is collaborating actively with the Minister of External Affairs to enhance the inflow of investment into Sri Lanka, as a result of the Business Forum.

The latest Commonwealth initiative, comes amidst strong concerns about the holding of CHOGM in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
