January 12, Colombo (LNW): China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi held discussions with Sri Lanka’s Foreign Affairs Minister Vijitha Herath earlier today (12), marking a short but significant diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
The meeting centred on Sri Lanka’s ongoing recovery work following Cyclone Ditwah, with particular attention given to rebuilding priorities and immediate needs on the ground.
During the talks, the Chinese side formally outlined support measures and assistance to be extended by Beijing as part of its cooperation with Sri Lanka’s reconstruction efforts.
Minister Wang was accompanied by a 17-member delegation from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The group arrived in Colombo in the early hours of the morning while transiting back to China after completing an official visit to South Africa.
Following the discussions, the delegation wrapped up its stopover and departed Sri Lanka at around 10.30 a.m., bringing the brief diplomatic visit to a close.
