COYLE welcomes new chairman Manjula Wijesundara: Ushering in a ‘Year of International Growth’
May 28, 2025
|The Island
The Chamber of Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) announces the appointment of Manjula Wijesundara as its new Chairman for the year 2025/26.
-
A respected entrepreneur and passionate advocate for business-led development, Wijesundara steps into leadership with a bold theme that reflects the needs of the hour—“A Year of International Growth.”
With the global economy undergoing profound shifts, Wijesundara’s appointment marks a timely change in COYLE’s strategic focus. In his inaugural remarks, the new Chairman articulated a vision for strengthening Sri Lanka’s economic resilience through robust international engagement and enhanced global market access for Sri Lankan businesses. His message was clear: sustainable economic recovery will come from expanding the nation’s presence beyond its borders.
“As Sri Lankan entrepreneurs, we must look outward and act with purpose. The next phase of our growth lies in our ability to compete, collaborate, and lead in international markets. This year will be about building bridges—with policy-makers, global partners, and emerging economies—to position Sri Lanka as a trusted trade and investment partner,” Wijesundara stated.
