Solidifying the longstanding relationship between the Chinese business fraternity and Sri Lanka, the lead construction team of ‘The One Transworks Square Development’, the Shougang Group of Beijing donated 12 tonnes of disinfectants to the Government of Sri Lanka as aid in the battle against the COVID-19 outbreak.
