  • Bi-lateral trade agreements must be strategically justified and then evaluated on their mutual benefits, considering all relevant socio-economic factors.
  • The Indian ITES industry, globally competitive with world class operators, is almost double the size of the Sri Lankan economy. Can we not learn from it?
  • The world’s top business hubs, be it Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, London or New York, have grown with the help of the migrant workforce.
  • The backbone of the Sri Lankan economy is critically dependent on our own work force working outside the country.
  • To compete in ITES, physical in-country presence is not essential! Geography is history and distance is dead!
