Sri Lanka was one of the first countries to welcome and join the “the Belt and Road” initiative. Strengthening cooperation with the “the Belt and Road” countries in the field of education is a positive measure to serve the diplomacy of major countries and improve the international influence of China’s education. Actively exploring new models and directions for international student program cooperation with Sri Lanka is conducive to expanding the attraction and cultivation of more high-level international talents, and promoting cultural and educational exchanges and development between China and Sri Lanka.
