Republic of China
Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen, Minister for Commerce and Industries and His Excellency Yi Xianliang, Ambassador of Peoples Republic of China were the Guests of Honour for this occasion.
H.E. Yi Xianliang the Ambassador of China urged the Sri Lankans to make use of this opportunity to foster partnerships in Infrastructure Investments with their Chinese Counterparts to mutually benefit and prosper both Countries. The Ambassador expressed that the President of the People’s Republic of China is eager to assist Sri Lanka to Industrialize and furthermore that since Sri Lanka is small it is best to develop large Industrial Zones in few locations. As such the area around Hambantota Port would be ideal for a large industrial zone. This would complement harbour activities to make it viable. The Chinese Ambassador also suggested the use of Chinese RMB as a mode of currency for Trade with China, which stands now at $ 4.3 Billion. Using Chinese RMB this would be considerably increased. He also touched on the Hambantota Port Agreement and said that the Chinese Government will strongly promote the Industrial Zone based around Hambantota Port.
Mr. Fang Qiuchen of CHINCA is the driving force behind this venture and is a virtual power house forging links between the Chinese Enterprise and CCI
