An activity entitled Ambassadors Face to Face with China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) was recently held in Beijing.

Organized by China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the event was joined by 110 diplomatic envoys of foreign countries and representatives of international organizations, during which they visited the Chinese engineering and construction giant and held talks with the company's management.

In a speech, Wang Tongzhou, Chairman of CCCC explained the company's vision of making the world smoother, cities more livable and life more colorful, and introduced in detail the high-level infrastructure projects built by the company around the world, including the Peljesac Bridge in Croatia, the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge in the Maldives and the Zemun-Borca Bridge in Serbia.

He said China, while promoting high-level opening up and working to build a community with a shared future for mankind, will create more opportunities of cooperation for governments and enterprises across the world.

K. K. Yoganaadan, Deputy Chief of the Mission of the Sri Lankan Embassy in China, said the CCCC-built Colombo Port City was nicknamed the "city of the future" by local residents, as both its design and construction are futuristic and tech-ish. It is hoped that Sri Lanka could deepen its cooperation with China in infrastructure so that the two countries can better share each other's development dividends, he added.
