Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Thursday reaffirmed his commitment to the "One China" policy as well as to the UN Charter principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations.
His remarks came after meeting with China's envoy to Sri Lanka Qi Zhenghong on Thursday.
"During a meeting with H.E. Qi Zhenghong, Ambassador of China, I reiterated Sri Lanka's firm commitment to the one-China policy, as well as to the UN Charter principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations," Wickremesinghe tweeted.
The Sri Lankan leader said that countries must refrain from provocations which further escalate the current global tensions.
"Countries must refrain from provocations which further escalate the current global tensions. Mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of countries are important foundations for peaceful cooperation and non-confrontation," Wickremesinghe said.
Amid the political and economic imbalance, Sri Lanka had asked China for help and asked for a $1 billion loan to meet repayments and a $1.5 billion credit line to buy Chinese goods; however, no progress was attained.
