General Conference

Venue of the conference was selected to be in Sri Lanka where the WFB was founded and the 1st General Conference was inaugurated so as to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of which around 3,000 participants including delegates, observers and invited guests from leading Buddhists countries around the world attended. 

At this conference, the WFB World Buddhist Business Forum was held for the first time which will be served as a platform where Buddhist Businessmen can share information and experiences to further cooperation for socio-economic development of Buddhist communities.  The Forum is a regular feature of the WFB activity from then on.
