April 25, Colombo (LNW): During a meeting between a delegation from the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) led by opposition leader Sajith Premadasa and a visiting delegation from the Chinese Communist Party (CPC), Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) Leader Mano Ganesan expressed the importance of China’s role in the contemporary Asian landscape.
Ganesan highlighted the significance of the BRICS grouping, consisting of China, India, Russia, and other countries, in shaping regional dynamics.
He emphasised the potential benefits for Sri Lanka in gaining entry into BRICS in the future and urged for Chinese support in this endeavour.
The sentiment was shared during discussions with Sun Haiyan, Vice Minister of the Central Committee of China, at the opposition leader’s office.
MP Ganesan articulated these aspirations for Sri Lanka’s enhanced regional engagement.
“China plays a key role in the Asia Centric world today. Beyond this China, India, Russia plus countries are well placed in the BRICS grouping. Hence, in future, Chinese good offices should support Sri Lanka to get an entry into BRICS,” emphasised the Tamil Progressive Alliance Leader.
