Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena is scheduled to embark on an official tour of China later this month, with the visit expected to commence on March 25. During his trip, he will engage in discussions with his Chinese counterpart, Li Qiang.
The visit holds significance as China and Sri Lanka anticipate the signing of approximately six Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) concerning bilateral cooperation across various critical sectors. However, specific details regarding the agreements have not yet been disclosed.
Reports suggest that President Ranil Wickremesinghe has directed the Prime Minister to undertake this crucial visit, underscoring the importance of fostering stronger ties between the two nations. Throughout his stay in China, Mr. Gunawardena plans to visit both Beijing and Shanghai, where he is slated to deliver addresses to prominent business leaders, highlighting potential opportunities for collaboration and investment.
