Garment exporters urge restoration of political stability

News

The Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) has urged Sri Lanka’s leadership and the authorities to immediately restore political stability across the country.

“They should also ensure a safe living and working environment for all people, as we collectively navigate through this very difficult crisis,” JAAF said in a statement.

It said the violence that erupted on the streets of Colombo and in other parts of Sri Lanka on Monday, and the resultant loss of life is both unfortunate and deeply saddening.

“We empathise with the people’s distress over the extraordinary adverse impact of the economic crisis on their lives and livelihoods. However, violence that costs precious human lives deserves our utmost condemnation. By the same token, we strongly support the efforts taken by the Bar Association of Sri Lanka to ensure a peaceful, democratic transition of power. It is critical that a new government be appointed urgently to fill the current political vacuum,” the statement said.
