A high-level business delegation from South Korea has met with Minister of Industries and Entrepreneur Development Sunil Handunnetti to discuss potential bilateral collaborations in Sri Lanka’s graphite mining sector.
The meeting was headed by renowned actor and film personality Gagan Malik, widely recognised by Sri Lankan audiences for his portrayal of Prince Siddhartha in the film Sri Siddhartha Gautama, alongside Kaushalya Wickramasinghe, Chairperson of Siddhivinayak Cine Arts (Pvt) Ltd, Sri Lanka, who coordinated the visit.
The South Korean delegation was led by Mun Yongjo, Chairman of IIDA, accompanied by IIDA Business General Manager Jeong Wonkuk and IIDA Cooperation Manager Kim Jungwoo. LIFE Sri Lanka Manager Darshana Kumara also participated in the meeting.
Discussions focused on identifying opportunities for economic cooperation, particularly potential investments and technical partnerships in Sri Lanka’s high-grade graphite mining industry. Both parties explored ways to utilise Sri Lanka’s mineral resources to meet international industrial demands.
According to the meeting outcomes, comprehensive project reports and formal presentations will be exchanged between the two parties in the coming days.
