On December 30, 2025, President Yang Wanming met with Majintha Jayesinghe, Sri Lankan Ambassador to China, at CPAFFC. The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on strengthening China-Sri Lanka relations and people-to-people friendship between the two countries.

President Yang warmly welcomed Ambassador Majintha Jayesinghe to the CPAFFC and extended sincere sympathies to Sri Lanka over the severe floods it had suffered. President Yang noted that China-Sri Lanka friendship has a long history. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1957, the two countries have stood together and moved forward hand in hand, setting an example of equality and friendship between countries of different sizes. Since the beginning of this year, President Anura Disanayaka and Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya have visited China or attended events in China. President Xi Jinping reached important consensus with them on deepening the China-Sri Lanka strategic cooperative partnership and jointly building a China-Sri Lanka community with a shared future, providing new strategic guidance for the development of China-Sri Lanka relations. The CPAFFC is ready to work with the Sri Lankan Embassy in China to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, promote mutually beneficial cooperation in parliamentary, sub-national, people-to-people, and youth exchanges, and advance the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries featuring sincere mutual assistance and enduring friendship.

Ambassador Majintha Jayesinghe said that Sri Lanka and China are good friends who stand together in times of difficulty, and that the steady development of bilateral relations helps strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two peoples. Sri Lanka firmly upholds the one-China principle. He congratulated President Yang on his successful visit to Sri Lanka and thanked CPAFFC for the support for Sri Lanka's flood control and disaster relief efforts. The Sri Lankan Embassy in China highly appreciates the important role that CPAFFC has played over the years in enhancing friendship between the peoples of Sri Lanka and China, and is ready to work closely with CPAFFC to consolidate traditional friendship, deepen friendly exchanges in various fields, and promote deeper and more substantive progress in building a China-Sri Lanka community with a shared future.

Liu Fang and Xu Yan, Deputy Directors-General of the Department of Asian and African Affairs of CPAFFC, and Niranga Nalin Palipana and Sumudu Wilpatha, counsellors of the Sri Lankan Embassy in China, were present at the meeting.
