Prime Minister to leave for Davos

News

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will leave for Switzerland today to attend the World Economic Summit to be held in Davos City from January 17- 21.

The Prime Minister attended the World Economic Summit on invitation last year too, and the international ties he forged at the summit had been beneficial for Sri Lanka’s future economic development programs, a press release issued by the Prime Minister’s Office stated.

Sri Lanka has just two members in this influential body – John Keells Holdings (JKH) and Carsons. The Business Times reliably learns that JKH Chairman Susantha Ratnayake is attending the summit while there is likely to be some representation from the private sector to attend some of the side events at the meeting.

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce which organized a delegation last year is not doing the same this year, it is learnt.
