Bilateral Business Councils, an integral part of the Ceylon Chamber, play a vital role in the promotion of international business. The 19 Bilateral Business Councils of the Ceylon Chamber have a great impact on promoting exports and/or attracting investments through joint meetings with partner countries.

The Business Councils facilitate business matchmaking events through business promotion missions, knowledge sharing events such as seminars and conferences, trade fairs and product/ service catalogue exhibitions as means to promote bilateral business. In this light, the Sri Lankanordic Business Council has taken the initiative to promote tourism between the two regions by means of this seminar and to provide an opportunity of networking between those in the Sri Lankan tourism industry and the Nordic region representatives.
