Sri Lanka’s government plans to introduce new legislation to create a conducive and secure business environment for foreign investors assured Sir Lanka’s Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera.
Speaking at a joint press conference with a Swedish business delegation led by Sweden’s foreign minister Margot Wollstrom, Mr Samaraweera said following new business legislation alongside free trade agreements with neighbouring nations, “Sri Lanka then will be truly open for business.”
Noting the recent lifting on Sri Lanka’s EU fishing ban, Mr Samaraweera added,
“We are also buoyed by the EU Commission lifting the red card on Sri Lanka’s fish exports and we will soon be in a position to regain GSP+ concessionary access to the EU market.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
