Sri Lanka’s Hirdaramani Group director Siddharth Hirdaramani recently met Mohamed Awad, chief executive officer of Egypt’s General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) and discussed the group’s plans to expand there by making the African Arab nation a regional hub for manufacturing and exports to global markets.

The plan involves leveraging the competitive advantages offered by Egypt, according to a regional news agency.

Awad said GAFI would continue providing all necessary support to ensure the successful implementation of the group’s expansion plans.

The Sri Lankan group operates 30 factories worldwide.
