The AGM highlighted key initiatives and achievements of SLFFA over the past year, including policy advocacy, capacity-building programs, and stakeholder engagement with government and international trade bodies. Mr. Fernando reaffirmed his commitment to furthering these initiatives, noting that the next phase of development for the logistics industry would depend on strategic partnerships, youth engagement, and technology adoption.
