Sri Lankan chapter of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) last week held its 26th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce Auditorium in Colombo.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport is a worldwide organization.

With over 33,000 members working in over 100 countries, the CILT spans the globe. It is an organization that offers significant benefits to all its members, as well as a complete suite of educational courses internationally.

CILT Sri Lanka newly elected Chairman Professor Amal S.Kumarage told Daily News Business, “main objective of CILT is to enhance and develop the process, efficiency and nature of the transport sector in the country.

Transport and logistics sector is still only contributing 10 percent to 12 percent of the GDP. By introducing modern technology and management practices the contribution of the transport and logistics sector in the country would be increased very soon.

One of the main objectives in the current Government development process is to develop the country as a transport hub.”
