SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry: Message from Keerthi Gunawardane, President, FCCISL, Sri Lanka

It is with great enthusiasm that I extend my warmest congratulations on the inauguration of the SAARC CCI Headquarters in Islamabad. This milestone symbolizes the enduring commitment of South Asia’s private sector to regional collaboration, economic integration, and shared prosperity.

As President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce & Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL), the proud SAARC contact point in Sri Lanka, I celebrate our foundational role alongside fellow national federations.

FCCISL remains dedicated to fostering trade, investment, and innovation across SAARC nations, navigating challenges like global uncertainties with resilience and vision. This new era under SAARC CCI’s permanent home will amplify our collective voice, driving sustainable growth for businesses in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. I wish you resounding success.
