President To Visit China Again
by Gazala Anver
President Mahinda Rajapaksa is to make another official visit to China next month, less than a year after he made his last visit to that country.
Government sources confirmed to The Sunday Leader that President Mahinda Rajapaksa will pay a state visit to China this August but the exact date is yet to be confirmed.
Since 2007, the President has visited China thrice including in November last year as a special guest to attend the Expo 2010 Exhibition in Shanghai.
China is Sri Lanka’s biggest investor and was involved in building the port in Hambantota.
Besides the Hambantota project, China is involved in several others on the island. It is constructing a second international airport at Hambantota, a $248 million expressway connecting the capital Colombo with the airport at Katunayake, a $855 million coal power plant at Norochcholai, and a performing arts theater in Colombo.
