China's top legislator, Zhao Leji, and Sri Lanka's Prime Minister, Dinesh Gunawardena, had a friendly meetup in Beijing this Tuesday. The vibe was all about boosting the long-standing friendship between the two nations! 🌟
Zhao Leji, who chairs the National People's Congress Standing Committee, highlighted that since 1957, China and Sri Lanka have been besties, sticking together through thick and thin despite the ever-changing international scene. Pretty cool, right? 😎
He expressed China's readiness to team up with Sri Lanka to build even stronger political trust, support each other on key issues, and take their Belt and Road Initiative collaboration to the next level. Plus, they're looking to amp up cultural exchanges to bring their peoples closer together. Talk about squad goals! 🙌
On the flip side, PM Gunawardena showed massive appreciation for China's long-time support and assistance. He reaffirmed Sri Lanka's commitment to the one-China principle (super important!) and expressed eagerness to deepen cooperation across various fields—including more chats between their legislative bodies. Looks like this friendship is only going to get stronger! 💪
This meetup is a big deal for both countries, showing their dedication to working together and supporting each other on the global stage. Stay tuned for more updates on this international bromance! 🌍✨
