The BRI and Sri Lanka's Future through the President's Lens

China’s third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation got underway in October 2023 after a three-year lull which saw leaders of the developed and developing world congregating in Beijing. This year’s forum was significant. It marked ten years of the initiative. The delegations held meaningful high-level discussions on the sidelines of the much-anticipated dialogue amid two significant conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, where the thrust was for sustainable development and multilateralism based on cooperation. Sri Lanka, like many in the Global South, is on board the BRI. President Ranil Wickremesinghe attended the forum in Beijing. He also met Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People. On the sidelines of the BRI, the Sri Lankan President also spoke with Chinese media, in Colombo first, with the host of Leaders Talk, Li Tongtong of China Global Television Network. In a departure, the host spoke in Mandarin while the President responded in Sinhala, and in Beijing, Wickremesinghe sat with CGTN Host Tian Wei. In both instances, the Sri Lankan leader expressed his optimism about the initiative’s potential and prospects for development, his development agenda for Sri Lanka amid the debt and economic crises, and the criticality of pursuing trade and a sustainable development agenda.
