The Development Strategies and International Trade Ministry and the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) will hold the First National Symposium for Sri Lanka's National Export Strategy (NES) today.
More than 150 public and private sector representatives to plan the next export growth cycle of the country will participate.
The First National Symposium will unveil the design process for the NES and provide a platform for public and private stakeholders to discuss their strategic vision for Sri Lanka's export growth.
The two days of consultation will confirm the export performance diagnostics and define the main strategic orientations for the NES, including priority sectors and the selection of trade functions.
Following this initial event, meetings will be held in Colombo and the regions to define specific sector level actions plans.
The NES will support Sri Lanka's economic vision of strengthening the competitiveness of the country's private sector to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth.
The consultative process will lead public sector institutions and private sector enterprises to design a common and agreed plan for growing and diversifying Sri Lanka's export products and reaching new target destinations. The NES will focus on a number of priority sectors and key trade support functions, selected based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Sri Lanka's export competitiveness, to ensure a prioritized focus.
EDB Chairperson Indira Malwatte said the NES initiative will support Sri Lanka's economic vision of strengthening public private dialogue and partnering with the nation's private sector, to achieve the country's economic objectives and goals.
