China also pledges to provide oil to Sri Lanka

Ambassador of China to Sri Lanka, Qi Zhenhong, stated that despite the ongoing crisis in the Middle East region, there will be no fuel shortage in Sri Lanka, and China guarantees to ensure a continuous fuel supply. He emphasized that even amidst such global uncertainties, China will continue to provide unwavering support to Sri Lanka.

The Ambassador made these remarks while speaking to the media after participating in a program to distribute dry rations to 350 low-income families at Sri Chandrananda Buddhist College in Kandy.
