Debt sustainability: China to keep supporting Lanka

China will continue supporting Sri Lanka in achieving debt sustainability as it has always been doing to help the country’s socioeconomic development, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman in Beijing.

Lin Jian, the spokesman, made the remarks at a regular press conference in response to a media question about the recent diplomatic consultations between China and Sri Lanka in the Chinese capital.

“On the 13th round of China-Sri Lanka diplomatic consultations, China has released a readout, which you may refer to. I can tell you that the Chinese side has been assisting in Sri Lanka’s socio-economic development to the best of our capability.”

“We stand ready to continue to work with relevant countries and international financial institutions to support Sri Lanka’s debt sustainability,” he said.
