A splendid conference in Colombo!
 Hosted by Sri Lanka Ports Authority (Chairman, Dr. Priyath B. Wickrama), the 12th IAPH Asia/Oceania Regional Meeting/Port Forum was successfully held in at Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), Colombo, Sri Lanka, 8-9 March, 2012.
The Port of Colombo now playing its critical role of a transshipment hub in the Indian Ocean offered an excellent platform for nearly 50 IAPH members from 18 countries to assemble and discuss various issues under the overall theme of "Global Challenges-Impact on Asia/Oceania Region". Several hundred local delegates reportedly attended the Sri Lanka International Air Freight, Shipping and Logistics Expo, the country's first-ever expo that was held in tandem with the IAPH event.
The two-day event was officially opened by Dr. Sarath Amunugama, Senior Minister of International Monetary Cooperation on behalf of His Excellency the President Mahinda Rajapaksa, promoting Sri Lanka as a good investment center as well as a key logistics center in the South Asian region.
Prior to the IAPH Regional Meeting on 9 March, three port forum sessions were organized on 8 March, where a number of stimulating presentations were made.
