A delegation representing the Chengdu Association of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (CAFTEC) is now in Sri Lanka on a fact finding mission.

The delegation which arrived on Sunday met several Chinese corporate officials doing business in Sri Lanka and also met representative of Sri Lankan Chambers.

“After the Easter Sunday bomb blasts and adverse travel advisory imposed by the Chinese government against Sri Lanka Chinese investors are having second thoughts in investing in Sri Lanka,” said CAFTEC Deputy Secretary-General Qingwen Zhang. She said that after visiting Sri Lanka they feel that things are falling back to place and security is tightened.

“We are happy with the current security situation in Sri Lanka and we will convey this message back to Chengdu investors.”

She said that there nearly 100 big and small time Chinese investors were doing business in Sri Lanka and most of them are based out of Chengdu.

“To look after their interests we opened CAFTEC Colombo office in Colombo last year and this is our first international office.” (SS)
