It was a great tour indeed.

[Canada in Sri Lanka and Maldives @CanHCSriLanka]

Fascinating to visit @primaflour 's state-of-the-art #wheat milling facilities. Prima is the largest importer of Canadian wheat into #SriLanka, and its facilities produce high-quality wheat flour for domestic and export markets.

[Canada in Sri Lanka and Maldives @CanHCSriLanka]

Inspiring for us to visit both @YarlITHub in #Jaffna and @DreamSpaceAcad in #Batticaloa - two unique non-profit organizations that serve as incubators for innovation, while also nurturing the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of youth from #SriLanka.

[Canada in Sri Lanka and Maldives @CanHCSriLanka]

Sincere congratulations to Mr. Kula Sellathurai of the Canada-Sri Lanka Business Convention on his appointment by the Ministry of Investment Promotion as country representative for Canada!

We were delighted to join the National Ethnic Unity Foundation (NEUF) to inaugurate their new #CFLI-funded Plastic Waste Recycling Centre in Ampara. An outstanding green initiative that converts plastic waste into commercial bricks while creating #youthemployment.

[Abdul Majeed @majeedkaiyoom]

These meetings were very productive and important to learn the business environment in East and North. Way to go forward with proper networking was discussed in depth for starters.

[Canada in Sri Lanka and Maldives @CanHCSriLanka]

Strong networks are key in developing commercial ties. It was a great pleasure for us to meet and discuss the issues with business chambers and forums in #Ampara #Batticaloa, #Trincomalee & #Jaffna during the recent visit of the Trade Team to the Eastern and Northern Provinces.

[Abdul Majeed @majeedkaiyoom]

[Canada in Sri Lanka and Maldives @CanHCSriLanka]

An inspiring visit to Nuffield School for the Deaf and Blind in #Jaffna. We are delighted to support their work to outfit the school with a #rainwaterharvesting system through the #CFLI.
