Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Sri Lankan Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Sabry on the sidelines of the general debate of the UNGA 77 in New York on September 23.
Wang Yi said that China and Sri Lanka established the relations of strategic partnership of cooperation, and the two countries have always shared weal and woe and treated each other with all sincerity. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of China-Sri Lanka diplomatic relations and the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Rubber-Rice Pact, which is of great significance to inherit the past and usher in the future.
China is willing to work with Sri Lanka to carry forward traditional friendship, consolidate strategic mutual trust, and deepen and expand practical cooperation. China has provided Sri Lanka with emergency humanitarian assistance such as medicines, rice and fuel, and will continue to provide Sri Lanka with assistance within its capacity to overcome temporary difficulties.
Sabry said that Sri Lanka-China friendship has a solid foundation. China has provided strong support to Sri Lanka's economic and social development for a long time, especially when Sri Lanka encountered difficulties, which Sri Lanka will bear in mind. China is an important development partner of Sri Lanka, and Chinese enterprises have made positive contributions to the accelerated development of Sri Lanka. The so-called "Chinese debt trap" argument is a completely untenable rumor.
Sri Lanka welcomes and will make efforts to ensure investment safety and reasonable returns from countries including China. Sabry thanks to China for providing assistance to Sri Lankan students returning to China for study.

Most people believe Chinese enterprises trapped corrupt Sri Lankan politicians by using unethical methods such as financial and sexual bribes and commissions to grab business deals, current situation and suffering of SriLankans as a nation is direct outcome of it, so China cannot wash its hands from this responsibility, it’s a another crime against humanity

China is the only countr that reached the superpower status without invading other countries and keeping them as colonies. Britain became a leading power by invading over 20 countries in all five continents.

After the crooked government of Sri Lanka, contrary to the agreement in the Hambantota Treaty, allowed a Chinese warship with 2000 soldiers to use the port, the mouthpiece of the criminal rat-loving wee ned dictator Xi, Wang Yi is now, as was to be expected, talking about a strategic partnership. Will the SL military now be incorporated into the Chinese People's Liberation Army? And how can Sabry call the Chinese friends after they blackmailed Sri Lanka and threatened severe sanctions over Fertilizer and the warship? How can he deny the debt trap. In contrast to other countries, China charges excessively high interest rates and refuses to make any concessions on repayment. Is that how friends act? Definitely not.
