Minister of Commerce and Industry , Rishad Bathiudeen, while addressing a press conference in connection with the INCOM exhibition in JAIC Hilton Hotel , Colombo yesterday said , that his ultimate goal is to develop industry to it’s optimum level in Srilanka.

Sole aim is to promote industry in this region, which had been badly affected by war to be reactivated and export produce and services to international market. As local resources and man power is available in this region, it could be gainfully utilized. By doing this local man power will be motivated.
This step will fall in line with Government’s aim to create 10 lakhs of employment opportunities in Srilanka. We have planned to introduce massive industrial revolution in forth coming years.
Followed by Sammanthurai’s first INCOM exhibition, second exhibition is planned in Kegalle of Dedigama electorate. This INCOM exhibition will be held in other regions too, which will promote Agriculture, fishing, Textile Industry, handicrafts and software engineering etc.
By organizing INCOM exhibition in different regions of Srilanka, Their produce and services will be able to compete in international market. INCOM exhibition is not organized just for entertainment or satisfy individual but to promote local production and develop industry in regions, he concluded.
