I was pleased to meet H.E. Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, during his brief visit to Sri Lanka this morning (12/01/26).

While welcoming Minister Wang Yi, I extended my sincere appreciation to the Government and the people of China for their timely and generous support to Sri Lanka in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah.

Our discussions focused among others on further advancing cooperation in the areas of trade and investment, development cooperation and tourism. The discussions also focused on rebuilding Sri Lanka post Cyclone Ditwah.

In this regard, I particularly requested the assistance of the Chinese government in infrastructure development including reconstruction of identified roads, railways and bridges which were affected and Minister Wang Yi assured his personal intervention to the said request and expressed confidence that Sri Lanka is on the right track for early recovery, and reaffirmed the Chinese Government’s fullest support.
