The Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha - Minister of Labour and Deputy Minister of Economic Development
Sri Lanka’s apparel exports to the United States were clarified as accounting for about 69–70 per cent, higher than the previously cited 60 per cent. The Minister said the matter had been discussed the previous day, further meetings with industry stakeholders were scheduled, and the Government would continue addressing it through diplomatic engagement.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Further, regarding apparel, you are correct—our share to the US is close to 69% to 70%, not just 60%. We discussed these matters again yesterday; tomorrow we will also meet industry stakeholders. We will continue this with robust diplomacy. Thank you.
