Tunisian envoy to Sri Lanka, Nejmeddine Lakhal says commercial ties between Sri Lanka and Tunisia should be enhanced, as two-way trade between the two nations stands at a negligible level at present.
The Ambassador, who is based in New Delhi, made this comment, when he visited the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday to discuss enhancing trade and investments between the two nations.
He met the CEO of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, Dhara Wijayatilake and Senior Assistant Secretary General of the Chamber, in-charge of Bilateral Business Councils, Lilakshini de Mel.
“Trade exchange between the two nations is very low, we have to find ways to enhance it by diversifying trade between the two countries,” Nejmeddine said. Both parties agreed to find opportunities to organizing two-way business delegations.
The visiting ambassador from the North African country also said that Sri Lankan investors can explore the Free Trade Agreements, Tunisia has signed with neighbouring countries.
