The CII International team visited Sri Lanka in August to meet with key constituents of the Sri Lankan insurance industry and CII members in the region. Sainesh Dar, head of corporate development, South Asia, and Zainab Fidai, head of international projects, led discussions with the president and council members of the Sri Lanka Insurance Institute (SLII) with the main focus on devising a plan to attract maximum young people working in the Sri Lankan Insurance Industry towards higher standards of professionalism through CII membership and qualifications.
An agreement was also reached on joint initiatives planned by CII and SLII to introduce the insurance learning programmes in prestigious universities and colleges in Sri Lanka. The CII team then made a special visit to Senaratne Insurance Brokers, where they met with company chairman, Nihal Senaratne, who committed to support the planned initiative of bringing in young people to the industry through the relevant CII qualifications.
