If I share my experience as a Logistics & Maritime Committee Member at AHK, this committee is an ideal platform to recognize the common strengths, challenges, and opportunities for all German brands. As a team, we were able to take a unified approach to overcome the challenges in promoting our brands in Sri Lanka. The initiatives taken by AHK on behalf of the Sector Committee, such as organizing constructive meetings with facilitators, were very productive and resulted in common benefits.
