Regional trade conference in Colombo

The Asia Pacific Trade Facilitation Forum (APTFF) will be held in Colombo on October 30 and 31.

At the APTFF, countries exchange information, experiences and practices for trade facilitation in the Asia Pacific region, identify priority areas for regional co-operation and integration and learn about new tools and services which can increase the efficiency of cross border transactions that will ultimately improve the competitiveness of firms in the region.

To collaborate with the Government and understand how other countries in Asia and the Pacific have successfully implemented trade facilitation measures for SMEs, 25 officials from the Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Ampara, Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Kandy, Hambantota, Matale, Badulla, Jaffna, Vavuniya, Galle, Mannar and Matara will participate in the Asia Pacific Trade Facilitation Forum, which will be co-hosted by The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce.
