Beijing: Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ali Sabry on Sunday held talks with his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang here on the future trajectory of the bilateral ties and his country’s serious economic crisis leading to its foreign debt default.
Sabry is visiting China for the first time after Sri Lanka’s debt crisis led to massive political and economic turmoil in the island nation last year.
An official readout of the meeting between the two leaders quoted Qin calling for promoting the joint construction of high-quality Belt and Road (BRI) projects.
China will continue to assist in Sri Lanka’s economic and social development and the improvement of people’s livelihood to the best of its capacity, the readout quoted Qin as saying.
