COLOMBO (News 1st) – A forum titled “From millennium to the New Era: Jointly build the Belt and Road and embrace the Sri Lanka Dream” was held in Colombo, yesterday (May 23).

The event saw the participation of the Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka.

The Minister of Development Strategies and International Trade, Malik Samarawickrama, also attended the event organised by the Chinese embassy in Sri Lanka.

At the event, the minister who was until recently the chairman of the United National Party made a blunder.

Although he was seated next to the Chinese Ambassador, Malik Samarawickrama insisted on speaking and waxing eloquent of India.
