Sri Lanka's foreign minister and 12 other MPs who are members of the Sri Lanka-China Friendship Association are in China for a visit. CGTN's Wang Mengjie caught up with the delegation leader Namal Rajapaksa in Beijing to find out his country's aspirations for fostering friendship with China.

"China has stood by Sri Lanka during difficult times, and similarly, Sri Lanka has always adhered to the One-China policy," said Rajapaksa, confirming the longstanding friendship between Sri Lanka and China.
