At the invitation of the Communist Party of China, Tilvin Silva, General Secretary of the JVP, who has been frequently visiting China recently, discussed with Liu Jianchao, Head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Communist Party of China, along with its high-ranking leaders.
Liu Jianchao emphasised that no one can damage the long-standing friendship between the JVP and the Communist Party of China and that no one will be allowed to damage that friendship.
Liu Jianchao stated that China is ready to assist with the country’s development program at any time and that China is not ready to take measures that undermine the sovereignty of any country.
At that time, JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva stated that the friendship between China and Sri Lanka and between the JVP and the Communist Party of China had further developed during the visit of JVP leader and President Anura Kumara Dissanayake earlier this year. He also emphasised that this friendship would further develop during the visit he and his group are making.
He also stated that they will act by the understandings reached between China and Sri Lanka and that they are grateful for the support China is providing to Sri Lanka and look forward to that support in the future.
During this visit to China, he expressed his satisfaction with the way China has been working to build China, from former leader Chairman Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, and stated that it is a victory for the Communist Party of China that China is advancing Marxism in its unique way.
During this visit, the experiences gained through the studies conducted through the party schools and the way the village has been built can greatly contribute to the future development of Sri Lanka, emphasised Tilvin Silva, General Secretary of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna.
The meeting was attended by Sun Haiyan, Deputy Head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Communist Party of China, and a group from the Foreign Affairs Department of the Communist Party of China, while the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna was represented by Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs Eranga Gunasekara, Deputy Minister of National Integration Munir Mulaffar, Jaffna District Parliamentarian A.M.
