Chinese Ambassador Cheng Xueyuan delivered a speech and shared his understanding about the ‘Ray of Hope’ from three different angles: For a country, judiciary and rule of law is the ‘Ray of Hope’. For China-Sri Lanka relations, the friendship and cooperation is the ‘Ray of Hope’. 

For the children, love and help is their ‘Ray of Hope’. The Ambassador also briefed about the pragmatic cooperation between the two countries as well as the emergency aid provided from China after the 21 April attacks.
