Chinese-built Hambantota port opens

A vast new port has opened on the southern tip of Sri Lanka – financed and built almost completely by China. The facility is a showpiece among a series of big new infrastructure projects as Sri Lanka looks to rebuild following last year’s defeat of the Tamil Tiger rebels,

which brought to an end the long-running civil war.

In a ceremony at Hambantota, the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa
paid tribute to the port’s backer. He said the offer by China to build
the port has served as a reminder of the two countries’ traditional
friendship.
