With exporters forming the backbone of the economy, the programme positions fuel delivery as a frontline national task, promising seamless operations and sustained competitiveness on the world stage. \u201cWe expect to provide all required facilities so that exports could be continue without any barriers,\u201d Wijesinghe affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
