China with Lanka when necessary - Premier Wen Jiabao

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has made a statement to President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Beijing on August 11 which says that the People's Republic of China will extend its fullest support in all necessary situations to Sri Lanka in the international forum.

This important statement of the Chinese Primer which obviously has a tremendous impact on the entire international community is in fact a guarantee to state that China will stand along with Sri Lanka in any event to safeguard our national independence and sovereignty states a media statement from the Sri Lanka-China Friendship Association. The valuable statement of the Chinese leadership is the most precious gift President Mahinda Rajapaksa has achieved for the motherland during his state state to China.

This strategic stand of the People's Republic of China has to be considered in the light of cold war like persecution launched against Sri Lanka by the Western imperialists headed by America, even going to the extent of using the UN as its cat's paw.

No foreign power hostile to the interests of Sri Lanka could ignore or overlook the impact of China in international economic, security and political spheres.
