OSL take:
The Jaffna International Trade Fair will present a host of business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province. Sri Lanka’s ongoing development programme and the positioning of the country as an emerging business destination in the South Asian region supported by the country’s geographical positioning in the Indian Ocean and the many trade agreements as well as concessions enjoyed by the country have all increased opportunities in Sri Lanka. The growing business potential covering all economic sectors in the country have presented a host of new business/investment opportunities. The expo in the Northern Province will open up a set of new business/investment opportunities in another area in Sri Lanka.
