The investors have also pointed out that they could give job opportunities to skilled Lankan workers returning from Korea when they start their factories in Sri Lanka.

The Korean Board of Commerce and Industries President Jung Taeleshin said that the team of business delegates who arrived in Sri Lanka with him would spend some more days in Sri Lanka to study investment opportunities.

The Korean business delegates have arrived Sri Lanka on the invitation of Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake.
