I am grateful for the opportunity to undertake a State visit to the People's Republic of China in this "China-Sri Lanka Friendship Year," commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Sri Lanka recognized the People's Republic of China in fact in 1950 even before establishing full diplomatic relations with resident embassies in our respective countries.

There is a knock at the door and another family of smiling visitors arrive. They step across and hand over big bags of fruit, cakes or candy. After exchanging greetings or sharing dinner together, you show them out and just before they leave, the visitors may bring out a red paper envelope. "This is for your kid," they say.
XIAMEN: Almost every traditional Chinese festival is closely associated with food: zongzi for the Dragonboat Festival, mooncakes for the Moon Festival, and niangao (sticky rice cake) for the Chinese New Year.
GUANGZHOU: Special food, native to Central China's Hunan Province, has attracted crowds of buyers to the Huxiang Food Store in downtown Guangzhou.
SHANGHAI: Nothing like a home-cooked meal. And so it is for the Spring Festival.
CHANGCHUN: People in Northeast China attach great importance to the Spring Festival Eve dinner. The meal is more luxurious than usual, with at least eight dishes on the table. Families, especially the women, take more than half a day to prepare it.
Jiaozi is a dumpling and is undoubtedly one of the best-loved Chinese foods for locals and expats alike. It is made with a flat dough wrapping and is stuffed with meat and vegetable and boiled or steamed.
