The Bandaranaike International Conference Center is located near the consular area and not far from Independence Square. The white exterior wall stands out more in the hot weather. It is said that China was responsible for funding and building it, highlighting the deep friendship between the two countries.
The Bandaranaike International Conference Center was built by China free of charge. It is a landmark that represents the friendly relations between China and Sri Lanka. The Chinese Embassy is also opposite. The shape of the building is very similar to the Great Hall of the People. There are also statues of great men inside.
It is a building funded by China, which makes it very familiar. It is located in the center of Colombo, with a very high-quality design. There is also a large square in front of it, with a high green coverage rate. However, you cannot go inside, you can only look at the exterior.
I decided to leave Sri Lanka airport goodbye to give him his rechargeable treasure, let the rechargeable treasure play a greater role in foreign countries. Because of geographical connections, India and Sri Lanka are next to each other. This single-neighbor model is also rare in the world. So from eating to driving to wearing, India and Sri Lanka are inextricably linked. Even a noisy curry may not taste exactly what it tastes like.
This building was built with aid from China. Although several decades have passed, it is still a landmark in Colombo. There are sculptures of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou on the second floor, and the small square in front is also very beautiful.
It is a very worthwhile place to visit, where humanity and nature blend together, very beautiful!
