Xi hopes to deepen BRI cooperation with Sri Lanka under Dissanayake

The Straits Times

|

September 24, 2024

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sept 23 he hoped to broaden cooperation with Sri Lanka under his Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), as he congratulated the island's new leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake on his inauguration, state media reported.

Mr Dissanayake, a self-avowed Marxist, took his oath at the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo on Sept 23, vowing to restore public faith in politics.

The country is emerging from a years-long economic collapse blamed partly on struggling high-debt Chinese mega-projects coordinated through the BRI, a massive infrastructure project that is a central pillar of Mr Xi's bid to expand his country's clout overseas.
