China and Sri Lanka have enjoyed a close relationship for decades. With the pandemic still raging around the world, China is donating vaccines to Sri Lanka. 600,000 doses have recently arrived in the country. Top officials from both countries also vow to advance relations. To discuss China-Sri Lanka cooperation in the post-pandemic era and the West’s skepticism in this regard, CGTN anchor Zou Yue sat down with Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary, Admiral Jayanath Colombage.
Adm. Colombage pointed out that due to Sri Lanka’s location across the world’s busiest sea lanes and its aspirations to become the maritime hub for the Indian Ocean region, developing port-related infrastructure is of critical importance.
