The new President’s vision for Sri Lanka is centered around creating a fair, just, and inclusive society, with a strong focus on eradicating corruption and uplifting the lives of ordinary citizens. His commitment to transparency, good governance, and sustainable economic development aligns with JAAF’s goals of promoting ethical practices and fostering long-term growth in the apparel industry.
Accounting for over 40% of Sri Lanka’s total exports, the apparel industry plays a pivotal role in the country’s economy. Beyond generating significant export revenue, the sector provides employment to nearly a million Sri Lankans, supporting livelihoods and driving skills development across the country. The industry’s impact extends far beyond its direct economic contributions; it is a vital force in uplifting communities and enhancing the nation’s development.
"We look forward to working closely with the new President and the Government to ensure the continued success of the apparel sector," said Yohan Lawrence, Secretary General of JAAF.
JAAF is optimistic that, under the leadership of the new President, the apparel sector will continue to thrive, overcoming all challenges.
