Met with Mr Bai Yinzhan, Chairman of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), and his delegation today. I welcomed CHEC’s confidence in Sri Lanka’s investment climate and reaffirmed that Foreign Direct Investment remains vital to our economic growth. With policy stability strengthened through our IMF programme, we are committed to fostering an increasingly investor-friendly environment and providing maximum support to investments that contribute to national development. I also expressed my appreciation for CHEC’s contribution to key development projects and its assistance to communities affected by Cyclone Ditwah.(Anura Kumara Dissanayake)
