Sri Lanka Connect 2026: Bridging Markets, Unlocking Growth 🇱🇰🤝🇮🇩
On 16 October, the Sri Lanka–Indonesia Business & Investment Forum brought together policymakers, investment promotion agencies, business leaders and investors from both countries at the JW Marriott Hotel, Jakarta.
Hosted by the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Jakarta, the forum focused on three goals: fostering two-way investment, building commercial and strategic partnerships, and connecting policy, investment and industry stakeholders.
The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka was pleased to join the opening panel, “The Best Business Destination in Asia to Grow Your Business”, alongside Kalbe International, the Colombo Port City Economic Commission and the Indonesia–Sri Lanka Business Council, moderated by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce.
The discussion set out why Sri Lanka is ready for foreign direct investment, investment incentives and policy support, ease of doing business, landmark national development projects and Public-Private Partnership opportunities — across five priority sectors:
🏙️ Real estate development
🚛 Logistics and supply chain
⚓ Maritime and port-related industries
🧵 Textile and apparel
💊 Pharmaceuticals and healthcare manufacturing
A second panel turned the lens the other way, examining Sri Lankan investment in Indonesia, with perspectives from Danantara, Hayleys Aventura and Silueta (MAS Holdings).
Our thanks to the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Jakarta and every partner who made the day possible. The conversation continues; talk to @Investin_SL about growing your business in Sri Lanka.

My deepest gratitude to the US and President @realDonaldTrump for standing with us yet again at a time of need.
The swift C-130 deployments and immediate $2 million emergency assistance reflect the strength of our enduring partnership, firmly rooted in shared democratic values, and close ties between our people.

The United States is donating a fourth U.S. Coast Guard Cutter, the USCGC EX-DECISIVE, to the Sri Lankan Navy. This demonstrates the strength of U.S.-Sri Lanka defense ties, and commitment to promoting maritime security and disaster response in the region.

The United States stands with the people of Sri Lanka during this difficult time. We are providing life-saving disaster response items in response to Cyclone Ditwah, including for shelter, emergency communications, water sanitation and health, and humanitarian relief.
As Sri Lanka responds to the severe impact of Cyclone Ditwah, the United States stands by the Sri Lankan people & is supporting efforts through @WFP to assist affected families. Today’s handover of 20,000 polysacks—used to reinforce embankments & slow floodwaters—to the Government of Sri Lanka builds on our recent handover of communication equipment & reflects our ongoing commitment during this challenging time. In the coming weeks, we will work with WFP to also deliver generators, cooking stoves, water bins, & tents.
