Unity is strength. Considering schools in Sri Lanka are reopening gradually, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China has the honor and pleasure to have aided 189,000 face masks to 26 schools and 5 universities across the country with the great coordination of the Ministries of Education and Higher Education. Besides, upon the kind suggestion of H.E. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the Embassy would like to gift 100,000 face masks to the Election Commission during recent days, in the midst of coming General Election.
China and Sri Lanka are true friends sharing weal and woe. The Chinese government and the 1.4 billion people will always remember the strongest solidarity and support extended by people from all walks of life in Sri Lanka. As a reciprocal response, since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the island till June, the central and local governments, enterprises, organizations and individuals from China have donated more than 73,000 test kits, 3,114,000 disposable masks, 210,000 KN95 masks, 54,000 PPE gowns, 41,000 eyes goggles and 145,000 medical gloves etc to Sri Lanka to fight against the pandemic. It’s strongly believed that these donations from the Chinese people will contribute to the health and well-being of the Sri Lankan people, and enhance the historical friendship between the two countries.
