The FTA was signed in February 2024 but is not yet in force. The Council engaged in productive discussions with the Ambassador to clarify on an implementation roadmap, it said in a media release.

The SLTBC formally requested an update on outstanding steps and approvals, potential obstacles, and the definitive timeline required to bring the agreement into full force. Discussions also centred on identifying high-potential export sectors for Sri Lankan goods into Thailand, simultaneously mapping strategic spaces for Thai investments and partnerships in Sri Lanka.
