Sri Lankan Airlines is the largest foreign carrier to India. 80 % of business of Colombo Port comes from India-related transshipment cargo.
Indians are the largest source market for Sri Lankan tourism, it is not just because India and Sri Lanka are neighbours; it is because Sri Lanka has carved out a niche for herself in certain sectors.
This was stated by Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Taranjit Singh Sandhu when he addressed the 11th Annual General Meeting of the Indo-Lanka Chamber of Commerce & Industry at the Taj Samudra in Colombo.
High Commissioner Taranjit Singh Sandhu was the Chief Guest at the 11th Annual General Meeting of the Indo-Lanka Chamber of Commerce & Industry with many industry leaders in attendance.
