China takes action as your confident comrade as well as the supporter whenever Sri Lanka needs it. The children are not only the future of this country but also the inheritors of the friendship between China and Sri Lanka.

Every stich of their uniform will tell the story of the mutual cooperation between our two ancient civilizations. I highly appreciate the dedication and contribution of The Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasooriya for the education of this country.
