South Korea – Sri Lanka Diplomatic Relations

Korea and Sri Lanka established diplomatic relations in June 1977. Korea has been a development partner, providing ODA for infrastructure and education. Sri Lanka's strategic location in the Indian Ocean has drawn Korean interest in maritime trade routes and port development. Relations have been growing steadily, with the Employment Permit System connecting a steady flow of Sri Lankan workers to Korean industries.

South Korea – Sri Lanka Trade & Economy

Bilateral trade in 2023 was modest: Korean exports to Sri Lanka totaled around $270 million (machinery, vehicles, and electronics), while imports from Sri Lanka reached approximately $210 million (textiles, rubber, and tea). Korean investment in Sri Lanka has grown, particularly in apparel manufacturing and infrastructure.
