During the year 1993, with the approval of the Registrar of Companies, the Chamber has been rechristened as “India-ASEAN-Sri Lanka Chamber of Commerce & Industry” following the emergence of ASEAN as a powerful economic trading block and the prospects and the opportunities available for India for increasing the trade and economic relations with Member Countries of ASEAN namely Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, LAOS, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The main objectives of the Chamber are to promote and foster trade and commerce between India on one side, member countries of ASEAN and Sri Lanka on the other and to promote and foster technical and industrial collaboration in such a manner as shall be in the mutual interests of India and ASEAN member countries and Sri Lanka.
