Sri Lanka is set to bolster its energy efficiency efforts with the establishment of a specialized laboratory for testing air conditioners, thanks to support from South Korea.

The initiative falls under the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Project, with financing from the Korea Energy Agency. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the project will not only see the installation of the laboratory but also include essential training for local personnel. Following approvals from Sri Lanka's Department of Foreign Resources, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Attorney General’s Department, the Cabinet of Ministers has given the green light for the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two nations, signaling a significant step towards the project's realization.
