The trade of vehicles to Sri Lanka presents 2 sides: some exporters in Japan, most of them of Ceylonese origin, are selling and shipping to importers in Sri Lanka.
The SLAEAJ (Sri Lankan Exporters Association in Japan) is the main association of Sri Lankan business people in the automotive sector in Japan, organizing several events every year. On the other side, the VIASL (Vehicle Importer Association Sri Lanka) is the main group of business people in the car industry in Sri Lanka. RamaDBK president, Mr Ramanayake, very active in the promotion of trade between Sri Lanka and Japan, is a member of both associations.
The visit of 50 members of the VIASL in Japan during the Tokyo Motor Show, was a great opportunity to make the members of both associations meet. The SLAEAJ has organized a business dinner at the New Otani Hotel in the center of Tokyo. On that occasion, Mr Jagath Ramanayake, CEO of RamaDBK company and prominent member of the SLAEAJ, has made a speech before all the importers and exporters. During the dinner, members of both associations have had fruitful conversations about ways to increase the trade of vehicles between Japan and Sri Lanka.
