Labour Party MP and Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Catherine West, was seen examining a Sri Lankan spice product during the launch of two UK-funded export handbooks. These handbooks, produced by the International Trade Centre, aim to assist Sri Lankan businesses in meeting export requirements for apparel, textiles, and agri-food products destined for the UK market.
The event was attended by Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Deputy Minister Chaturanga Abeysinghe and British High Commissioner Andrew Patrick. The initiative is expected to strengthen trade ties between Sri Lanka and the UK, providing local businesses with valuable guidance to access global markets.
