This was launched as the three countries acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic was having an unprecedented impact in terms of lives lost, livelihoods and economies affected, and that the pandemic had revealed supply chain vulnerabilities globally and in the region, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry informed in a statement.
The Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (SCRI) will help in boosting trade by identifying supply chain risks.
