View(s):

The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) recently held discussions with Ihab I. M. Khalil, Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Sri Lanka on fostering stronger trade ties and exploring new avenues for bilateral cooperation.

The meeting, recently held at the EDB premises, facilitated a productive discussion on expanding market access for Sri Lankan products in Palestine and encouraging greater collaboration between the two nations, the EDB said in a media release.

During the discussions, the EDB highlighted several product sectors with strong potential in the Palestinian market, including Ceylon Tea, natural rubber and rubber-based products, coconut-based products such as desiccated coconut and virgin coconut oil, spices; particularly Ceylon Cinnamon and pepper, processed food and beverages, and Ayurveda and herbal-based personal care products.

As a follow-up, the EDB proposed organising an online awareness session focused on these sectors, with the participation of potential Palestinian buyers, trade chambers, and trade promotion organisations. The initiative aimed to create direct linkages between Sri Lankan exporters and Palestinian counterparts, supported by information sharing and coordinated matchmaking.

This engagement reflected the EDB’s ongoing commitment to diversifying export markets and building strategic trade relationships with emerging economies, thereby enhancing opportunities for Sri Lankan exporters in West Asia.
