Lanka-China ties get stronger day by day - envoy

Bilateral ties between Sri Lanka and China have strengthened more during the last decades as both countries treated each other as equals with sincere mutual support and assistance as well as maintained amicable consultation and coordination in the international arena, Chinese ambassador to Sri Lanka Yang Xiuping said.

She was addressing a seminar organized by the Sri Lanka -China Friendship Association to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China at Sri Lanka Foundation Institute yesterday.

'The high level diplomatic contacts of the leaders of the two countries have injected new momentum into the bilateral relations and elevated China- Sri Lanka ties to new heights.'

"Under this new background, our bilateral exchange and cooperation in all aspects are developing vigorously," the ambassador said.

She pointed out the importance of establishing associations in this calibre to keep contacts.

"As the first friendship organization, the Sri Lanka- China Friendship Association, has not only witnessed the development of our bilateral relations, but has also devoted itself a great deal to promote bilateral relations," Xiuping said.

Addressing the gathering Irrigation and Water Management Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said China was a true friend of Sri Lanka for a long period.

The relations between the countries were maintained for ages continuously though governments changed from time to time, he said.

China assisted Sri Lanka even during difficult periods. "When the LTTE terrorism created problems, China not only supplied weapons but also remained a friend who motivated Sri Lanka to defeat terrorism," he said.

UNP MP John Amaratunga said that at present the most popular ambassador in Sri Lanka is the Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Yang Xiuping.

"During her tenure, Sri Lanka received maximum support from China," he said.
