Approximately 50 Sri Lankans attended the event in order to obtain  consular services, including the renewal of passports, document attestation, signing of affidavits and power of attorney. The Employment and Labour Welfare Section of the Embassy provided labour welfare services to the Sri Lankan expatriate community in Jeju Island.
