Sri Lankan exporters’ chamber welcomes new government

The National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE), representing export fraternity of the country, has congratulated the newly concluded election and the great victory achieved, in the formation of a new government. 
Chamber President Ms. Ramya Weerakoon said in a statement that the chamber welcomes the new government led by the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa with a strong decree in developing and promoting exports of the country. 
“This election demonstrates the confidence of Sri Lankan citizens. It is praiseworthy to mention the measures taken by the government during COVID-19 pandemic and how the country’s situation has been handled by navigating sturdily throughout, to ensure health and safety of the general public. The new mandate will reinforce the newly elected leaders to introduce necessary changes to develop the export sector of the country to increase export revenue. The sector is currently facing a vulnerable situation due to the pandemic,” the statement said. 
It said exporters sincerely hope that the new government will be able to fast- track and achieve a sustainable economic development through exports, as supported by the mandate, adding that the NCE will extend its fullest cooperation towards the new administration in achieving its objectives.
