Asian Alliance Insurance partners 21st Annual NCE Export Awards
View(s):National Exporters Association (NEA) the forerunner of the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE) was established in late 1986 by a small band of dedicated exporters. The NCE was inaugurated with the intention of creating a forum for the exporter fraternity, who previously had no organisation to represent them. Over the years, NCE has positioned themselves as the premier entity which stands on behalf of the local exporter community by successfully lobbying and influencing the Government to formulate many policy decisions that assist exporter fraternity.
