Mahinda Chinthana translated into Chinese

Parliamentarian A.H.M. Azwer said that the Mahinda Chinthana is the first policy document in Sri Lanka that was translated into a foreign language. The Chinese translation of Mahinda Chinthana was launched at a function graced by Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao at the Great Hall of China.

Azwer said the Sri Lanka envoy in China Ranjith Uyangoda has taken great efforts to translate the Mahinda Chinthana into Chinese with the help of a Chinese professor.

He said the Sri Lankan envoy in China presented the first copy to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Parliamentarian said that the Chinese President expressed his happiness over the achievements in Sri Lanka credited to the Mahinda Chinthana when President Rajapaksa met the Chinese President during his recent official visit to China.

Over a hundred journalists who were present at a press conference requested for copies of the Mahinda Chinthana translation. External Affairs Minister Prof G.L. Peiris directed the Sri Lanka envoy in China Uyangoda to fulfill their request.
