THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The LDF Government in Kerala was not opposed to Special Economic Zones (SEZs) so long as it remained a national policy, Industries Minister Elamaram Kareem informed the state Assembly today.

If Kerala alone took a stand against SEZs, the state would slip industrially, Kareem said in reply to a question.

Of the 237 SEZs sanctioned in the country, 11 were in Kerala, he said.

Three other proposals were pending, he added.

Menwhile, the government planned to organise a business and technology meet in Kochi within next few months to lure investments to the state, he said.
