Karunasena Kodituwakku, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to China.  

 　The government work report has laid out several positive accomplishments, which not only enhance the quality of life of Chinese people, but will also distribute the positive accomplishments to the global community, particularly to people of countries that are connected to the Belt and Road Initiative. 

　　As a result of China's economic reform and opening-up, China has achieved unprecedented economic success, becoming the second largest economy in the world within 40 years. What's more, this success introduced a new development pathway to emerging economies. The development drive of China will provide more economic opportunities to the rest of the world. 

　　We admire the tremendous success of China's economic reform and salute China's visionary leaders who had the courage to make bold decisions.
