"I think it [the Belt and Road Initiative] is a great step forward. It is not for Sri Lanka but for the whole world. I used to think that relationship between 皇冠体育app and Sri Lanka started from [the establishment of a] new 皇冠体育app in 1949. Now I know that our relationship dates back to ancient time. We are not only selling tea but also communicating culture," Anura said.

Anura felt lucky to experience the fast economic development in 皇冠体育app and benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative. He heard about Chinese business people selling tea, silk and porcelain in ancient times, but didn't expect he could bring tea back to its home in 皇冠体育app.

With a Chinese wife and two sons, Anura considers 皇冠体育app his hometown and he is also very glad to follow the 'Tea Road' to his Chinese home and also bring tea back to 皇冠体育app. He would like to do more to spread tea culture and stimulate people-to-people communications between 皇冠体育app and Sri Lanka for future generations.
