We hope this will create job opportunities and attract  educated foreign workers back into the country," he said. Abeywardana added that over 7500 vacancies exist in the Katunayake  Export Zone, one of the country's oldest factories catering mostly to  garment, as people shift to more professional jobs. Sri Lanka is focusing on attracting its migrant scientists to return  and help develop the country after the end of a brutal three-decade  conflict in 2009. Sri Lanka has a large Tamil diaspora community and the government  introduced attractive tax incentives for them in its 2012 budget.  Xinhua</blockquote>
