The reception, now a valued tradition in AHK Sri Lanka’s calendar, continues to provide a unique platform for connection and collaboration. Representatives from German brands, corporate partners, government institutions, and the diplomatic community came together to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities. Reflecting AHK’s core mission, the event reinforced its role as a bridge that connects businesses, markets, and people.
Looking back on the past year, AHK Sri Lanka highlighted encouraging progress in trade, investment, and bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors. Particular emphasis was placed on vocational education and skills development initiatives, which aim to equip young talent and professionals with industry-relevant expertise. These efforts support the creation of a future-ready workforce that benefits both Sri Lanka and German enterprises.
The evening was made possible with the support of Visa World, recognized as the Prestige Partner for the reception, whose continued trust and collaboration were warmly appreciated.
Distinguished guests included H.E. Dr. Felix Neumann, Ambassador of Germany to Sri Lanka, and Hon. Chathuranga Abeysinghe, Deputy Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development. Both dignitaries addressed the audience, sharing insights on strengthening economic cooperation, encouraging investment, and fostering innovation between the two nations.
A special highlight of the evening was the recognition of AHK Sri Lanka’s Premier Partners for 2026. These organizations play a vital role in enabling the Chamber’s programmes, events, and initiatives throughout the year. Appreciation tokens were presented to partners across Platinum, Gold, and Silver categories in acknowledgment of their continued commitment to supporting the German–Sri Lankan business ecosystem.
As AHK Sri Lanka steps into the year ahead, the organization reaffirmed its dedication to strengthening business ties, creating new opportunities, and serving as a reliable partner for companies navigating both markets. The reception concluded with networking and celebrations, setting an optimistic tone for a year focused on growth, cooperation, and shared success.
