Sri Lanka Needs Chief Negotiator for India Trade Pact

Sri Lanka Needs Chief Negotiator for India Trade Pact

Imagine Sri Lanka and India are trying to trade more with each other.

They already have a deal called ISFTA, but it's not working perfectly.

Sri Lanka wants to make it better, and India wants to help.

Some people think there isn't enough trust between the two countries to make new deals.

The US is also charging high fees on Sri Lankan goods.

Sri Lanka might be open to a new deal with India if it's good for them.

They also want to be careful, like the weaker one in a competition.

Sri Lanka is considering appointing a special negotiator to improve trade.
