The Sri Lanka-Indonesia Business Council said that the formation of the counterpart council would not only strengthen trade and investment between Sri Lanka and Indonesia, but would also function as a facilitator for promoting bi-lateral relations between the two countries.

With the support of the Sri Lankan Embassy in Indonesia, the counterpart council would bridge the long drawn gap between business communities of Sri Lanka and Indonesia, by performing a role of an exchange of information and knowledge.

The Sri Lanka-Indonesia Business Council has commended the efforts of H.K.J.R. Bandara, Ambassador for Sri Lanka in Indonesia in forming the counterpart council and the initiative taken by Senaka Amarasinghe, Immediate Past President of the Sri Lanka-Indonesia Business Council, in establishing the counterpart council.

Patrick Rodrigo, the incumbent President of the Sri Lanka Indonesia Business Council said that together with their Indonesian counterpart, they could work towards the expansion of services for the membership by introducing business information exchange system to facilitate promotion of Trade, Investment, Joint ventures, Tourism and services between Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
