The Sri Lanka Economic Summit to be held later in July will discuss how Sri Lanka can tap opportunities out of the Belt and Road Initiative, a Ceylon Chamber of Commerce statement said on Tuesday.
Proposed by China in 2013, the Belt and Road initiative refers to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, aiming at building a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along the ancient trade routes of Silk Road, Xinhua news agency reported.
The session titled "Belt and Road Initiative - Transformative Opportunity for Sri Lanka" will talk on the potential investment opportunities for Sri Lanka from the Belt and Road Initiative.
The Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2017 will be held in Colombo on July 25 and 26 with the aim of discussing ways to strengthen the island's economy.
The two-day annual summit, organised by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, will have over 40 top resource persons, such as sectoral experts, industry practitioners, government officials and ministers taking part.
