The proposed Indo-Sri lanka economic trade pact will not affect local professionals as it does not include the movement of natural persons, deputy Foreign Minister Harsha de Silva said on Wednesday. Allaying fears of local professional groups, particularly doctors, who have expressed concerns over loss of opportunities if the Indo-Sri lanka Economic and Technology Corporation Framework Agreement is signed, Silva said false reports regarding the pact were misleading the people. “Please do not mislead with false statements as there is no movement of natural persons under proposed Indo-lanka economic pact,” Silva said. Speaking at a press riefing, Silva asserted there was no point of holding union actions with regard to these types of false reports. “An Indian doctor, lawyer, engineer or any other professional can't just come here and open a dispensary, law firm or any other thing to deliver their services here,” he said.
