Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake may visit China following his trip to India, and preparations are underway to welcome him, according to a senior Chinese official.
Dissanayake travelled to India early this week on a three-day visit — his first foreign trip after assuming charge as the president.
Vice-Chairwoman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Qin Boyong, who met Dissanayake on Wednesday, said preparations are underway to welcome him during his future visit to China.
Dissanayake told Qin that Sri Lanka appreciated the Chinese assistance in debt restructuring and its loans granted during the economic challenges faced by Sri Lanka.
