February 06, 2017

 

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will fly to China in May to finalise sections of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Sri Lanka’s ambassador to China Dr. Karunasena Kodituwakku said.

 

He was speaking at a ceremony organised by the Sri Lanka embassy to mark Sri Lanka’s 69th celebration of Independence.

The Ambassador reassured those present that Sri Lanka’s agreements with China would move forward despite hiccups.

China’s proposed industrial zone in Sri Lanka’s southern fishing village of Hambanthota met unexpected resistance in the form of villagers refusing to let go off their land.
