The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) have extended their support for policy reforms and institutional improvements in Sri Lanka to ensure the supply of high-quality goods and services while protecting both consumers and producers.

This was discussed during a meeting held today (12) at the Presidential Secretariat, where representatives from JICA and JFTC met with Secretary to the President, Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake.
