Nice..

The Colombo Port City Project was launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Mahinda Rajapaksa at a grand ceremony this morning (17) . The launch of the Project is expected to change the skyline of our city. This will be the largest single foreign direct investment of around US$ 1.5 billion for the land development that has potential to attract around US$ 5 billion from all over the world.


Constructions of the port city is carried out by China Harbour Engineering Company under an MOU signed by Sri Lanka Ports Authority with China communication construction company in peoples republic of China at an total investment of 1,500 million US dollars



The New Port City is a concept of President Mahinda Rajapaksa who was apparently inspired while on a visit to inspect the landfill being constructed for the Colombo South port. Colombo Port City is a proposed offshore city in Colombo, Sri Lanka which is planned to be built on reclaimed land adjacent to the Galle Face Green. This is the biggest direct foreign investment development scheme ever implemented in Sri Lanka. An extent of 500 acre land fill up in the sea off Galle Face Green is developed as the port city.



This massive project will generate a huge number of direct and indirect job opportunities. The port city comprised with sport complexes, mini golf ground, housing and office complexes, luxury hotels and many other modern facilities.


According to China Harbour Engineering Company over 70 per cent of the workforce of all projects carried out by the company was recruited from Sri Lanka and this rule also applies to the Colombo Port city project.(KH)

Now the government must concentrate on easing traffic in Colombo city. Otherwise it will be chock-a-block when traffic from the new city too joins the already congested roads.

Also, electricity and water supply too should be looked into. Thanks to Norochcholai, electricity should not be a worry, but what about water supply?

Positive thinking leads the road for country's development & its future. Best approach is minimizing the heavy burden on common public by lessening the inefficiency, malpractices & overnight price increases. Development of remote areas & the living standards of downtrodden class should be given the priority where you can witness the miracle of Asia.

so much for OSEA

Why? Workers will get meals from hotel da?

Few things missed in comments.
Formula 1 track is definite.
Taj will not benefit. Do you think the Chinese contractors/labours will eat at Taj ??????
Don't worry about traffic congestion, the billionaire tourists will be flown directly from KIA to Port city courtesy sea planes. Buy Aitken Spence because they will benefit.
The closest we can get to the dream city will be the formula car noise coming over from Dreamland.
Finally, hope they have webcams for us to get a view into the city because the Port City will be out of bounds for local tourists as well as local labour.

Aiyooo mama iddam kalak ganda hitiye oheng

man made island in the sea like  another  Hongkong  to china for 99 years worth to  remember that no land will be sold for foreigners.

Keeping the promises. No more sale of land to foreigners. Reclaim sea all around Sri Lanka and sell to China. Finally Sri Lanka is a country in China and will be Sino-Lanka. [i] will go down in History as the one who coined the new name for Sri Lanka.
