A long felt need to promote and nurture Sino-Lanka relations was realized recently with the inauguration of China-Sri Lanka Cooperation Studies Centre (CSLCSC) at the headquarters of the Pathfinder Foundation (PF) by Chinese Ambassador in Sri Lanka Yi Xianliang.
China has been a steadfast friend of Sri Lanka during the long period of the armed conflict that ended in 2009. Since then, China stepped into support infrastructure development that came to a standstill during the period of strife and funded numerous development projects at time when the country faced scarcity in foreign investment.
