COYLE meets with Indonesian Ambassador, focuses on stronger Indo-SL ties

COYLE held talks with Dewi Gustina Tobing, the Ambassador of Indonesia recently where a number of important points were discussed at length.

The Ambassador highlighted that Indonesia has demonstrated its commitment to fostering economic partnerships, not only within its borders but also on a global scale. Sri Lanka stands to gain from this openness, with opportunities for mutual benefit. The prospect of identifying and leveraging outbound investments was emphasized, potentially leading to increased economic activity between the two nations.

A key concern raised during the meeting was the process for Sri Lankans to secure work visas in Indonesia when Sri Lankan companies expand their operations there. Despite some confusion in recent history, it was clarified that, with proper validation of these operations and an established capacity in Sri Lanka, assistance in obtaining work visas with work permits would be provided.

The meeting between COYLE and Ambassador Dewi Gustina Tobing served as a promising step towards greater economic cooperation between Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
