Many of China’s partners from around the world said they are highly willing to continue to collaborate with Beijing in various aspects of infrastructure, including renewable energy, connectivity, and finance.
The desire to deepen cooperation was made clear on the final day of the 15th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum in Macao on June 21.
The three-day forum saw officials, diplomats, company heads, and experts from around the world gather together to explore the potential for developing new energy and fostering connectivity in infrastructure development.
Sri Lanka’s Minister for Urban Development and Housing Arundika Fernando thanked China for helping the country cope with its economic crisis. More importantly, he said, Sri Lanka hopes to strengthen collaboration with China in both financial and non-financial areas.
Fernando was speaking at a forum on “International Engineering Smart Digitalization Development”, Fernando said that his main task is to further develop Sri Lanka’s infrastructure.
“For example, the light rail project is actually a good link with the Chinese government and Chinese enterprises so it will be a good opportunity to develop it in Sri Lanka,” he said.
