Ambassador Dr. Kohona makes successful visit to Xiamen

Sri Lankan Ambassador to China Dr. Palitha Kohona met the Vice President of the Yuqun New Energy Group, Qiu Weiqian, which is the global leader of electric battery production and updated him on investment opportunities and friendly business climate in Sri Lanka.

The Group recognised the need to move some of the production facilities closer to the car manufacturers. Already a plant has been built in Germany. China remains the top manufacturer of electric cars. Green and low carbon energy is the slogan of Yuqun New Energy Group.

Dr. Kohona who was the guest speaker at the seminar organised by the popular Home and Abroad news magazine, the Ambassadors Club and the Justsun Group at the Group’s headquarters in Xiamen also spoke at length on why Sri Lanka should be the top travel destination in the minds of everyone.

“Sri Lanka is safe and is clogged with stunning attractions, was the home of many globally important Buddhist sites and a welcoming people was awaiting.”

Dr. Kohona also had discussions with Shen Huangtong, national channel Director of the Xiamen Xiaoyi Travel Technology Company which is a major coordinator of travel operators, including on-line platforms. They will log into the travel promotion event being hosted by the Embassy and will assist with the Mission’s tourism promotion activities.

The Ambassadors were hosted to dinner by the President of Empereur Teas, a company that provides the gifts for China’s leaders when foreign leaders are being entertained, consisting of the most exquisite teas of China.
