Janashakthi Insurance showcased its commitment towards recognising and rewarding best of Sri Lanka’s top exporters at the recently concluded 23rd Annual NCE Export Awards 2015 conducted by the National Chamber of Exporters, Sri Lanka’s only private sector Chamber which exclusively serves Sri Lankan exporters. NCE Export Awards is a key highlight of the Sri Lankan annual business calendar, attended by leading companies of the export community.

“Janashakthi General Insurance is extremely pleased to pledge commitment to continue its partnership with the National Chamber of Exporters and to be part of the country’s most prestigious Exporters Awards Ceremony as a sponsor,” said Janashakthi General Insurance Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Jude Fernando.

“Increased momentum in international trade and enhanced efforts across the globe to curb protectionism by embracing trade liberalisation and free trade should benefit Sri Lankan exporters in the longer run. Nevertheless, international markets will be volatile and we at Janashakthi Insurance are mindful to the multitude of risk factors and challenges our exporters will have to face when they expand and move into global markets more aggressively. 

“We recognise that our exporters will essentially require total peace of mind to think strategically to develop their products and services into global brands. While our exporters take calculated risks to become global brand icons, we at Janashakthi Insurance as one of the leading general insurers in Sri Lanka will strive to provide that essential total peace of mind our exporters would require,” added Fernando.

“This awards ceremony, held for 23 consecutive years, has achieved national significance over the years, and is one of the most looked forward to event in the business calendar of Sri Lanka. Obviously exporters play a significant role in the economic development of a country like Sri Lanka. In this regard the Chamber stands ready to support the new Government to develop and implement a vibrant export led strategy,” said National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka President Sarada De Silva, at the glittering awards night, to a packed audience of distinguished invitees and winners.
