The Government of Sri Lanka has reiterated its unwavering commitment to the One China policy, underscoring its support for China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
During this week’s Cabinet meeting on Monday, the Cabinet of Ministers reaffirmed the country’s adherence to this long-standing policy, recognizing the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China.
In a statement issued by the Government Information Department, the Government declared, “Our nation remains firmly committed to the One China policy. We recognize that Taiwan is an integral part of China and oppose any attempts to undermine China’s sovereignty or territorial unity.”

The Cabinet approved a proposal submitted by Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment, and Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath to continue adhering to this policy in all aspects of diplomatic engagement.
This reaffirmation comes as part of Sri Lanka’s broader effort to maintain and strengthen its longstanding partnership with China, a key ally in trade, investment, and regional cooperation.
