| CCC seeks Japanese assistance for marine
resources
The Ceylon
Chamber of Commerce (CCC) seeks Japanese assistance to exploit the countrys marine
resources. In a letter to the Japanese Commerce and Industry Association president Kenji
Kojima, CC Chairman Chandra Jayaratne says:-
"I would appreciate if your association could seek potential
Japanese business conglomerates with interests in exploiting the identified investment
opportunities including deep see fishing and extracting aquatic plants and
minerals, processing of fish and allied marine products, operating, selling/leasing
fishing vessels and sea crafts and provision of technology and advisory services to local
business entities proposing to exploit marine opportunities."
He further says that it was a privilege to have had the
opportunity to associate with you, as a co-panellist at the seminar commemorating fifty
years of bilateral relations between Sri Lanka and Japan, held at the BMICH recently.
"I was inspired by our frank analysis of the prevailing
external environment in Sri Lanka and the economic and investment climate in Japan"
he says. Whilst agreeing with you on the prevailing situation in Sri Lanka, we at the CCC
remain hopeful that in the short to medium term Peace will prevail throughout the
country, political and social stability will emerge, internal security will be conducive
to business, infrastructure will facilitate the private sector achieving competitiveness
in a global environment, in selected areas of business.
Governance framework will improve substantially, economic Reforms
and de-regulation with specific reference to education and labour will empower the private
sector to mobilise and leverage resources and operate with economy, effectiveness and
efficiency. I annex a copy of a booklet published by the CCC titled "A Review of
Marine Resources in Sri Lanka Potential for Investment" says Jayaratne.
