In a major move to deepen cooperation, China and Sri Lanka have pledged to boost high-level exchanges and share governance strategies, according to a joint statement released Thursday. The agreement underscores their commitment to mutual political trust and collaboration on global issues.
One-China Principle Takes Center Stage
Sri Lanka reaffirmed its support for the one-China principle, recognizing the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government representing all of China. The statement emphasized that the island of Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory, with Sri Lanka opposing any “Taiwan independence” activities. 🚫🇹🇼
Building Bridges, Blocking Divides
Both nations vowed to respect each other’s sovereignty and development paths. China backed Sri Lanka’s right to pursue policies suited to its national conditions, while Colombo pledged to prevent its territory from being used for anti-China activities. The deal also highlights alignment on issues related to Xizang and Xinjiang.
A Shared Vision for Peace
The partnership reinforces China’s peaceful foreign policy and Sri Lanka’s non-aligned stance. With nods to UN resolutions and economic solidarity, this collaboration could reshape regional diplomacy – and young globalists are watching. 🌐✨
