Private sector takes pledge to work towards united Sri Lanka
Colombo yesterday saw a group of private sector business leaders and representatives led by business chambers in the country coming on to one platform to affirm their pledge towards a united Sri Lanka.
The event, put together by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC), was held at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel, marking one month since the deadly Easter Sunday terror attacks that shook the country.
According to CCC CEO Dhara Wijayatilake, a group of nine chambers met to discuss the present situation in the country and decided much needed to be done to reunite a “temporarily fragmented Sri Lanka.”
“We decided that we will ask the business community to take a pledge that we will work towards the goal of uniting our people and that we will thereby inspire everyone in this country to do the same,” she said.
