FTA agreement with China, an urgent need– Former Envoy to China, Dr. Palitha Kohona |
Irrespective of which Government is in power Sri Lanka must continue negotiations and sign the Free Trade Agreement with China urgently, said the former Ambassador to China, Dr. Palitha Kohona. Most of the ground work for this has been done. “However, Sri Lanka must negotiate this FTA with care and try to gain more concessions during exports. One must also remember that China has a huge export market and negotiators should look at this as well.”
Many countries which have concluded bilateral Free Trade Agreements with China have done ‘marvelously’ in accessing the Chinese market.

- 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
