Sri Lanka targets $5 billion in FDI over next 3 years

Sri Lanka’s investment promotion agency is aiming to attract $5 billion of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI’s) over the next three years said the International Trade and Development Minister.

Speaking at a precursory event to the Invest in Eastern Sri Lanka Forum later this month, Malik Samarawickrema said the government was also planning to conduct investment road shows to target several countries.

Mr Samarawickrema added that the event would aid the whole island, noting that several Chinese investors are to invest in setting up industries at the Hambantota Harbour area, reports Colombo Page.

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
