On January 12, Director General Cao Saixian of Shenzhen Foreign Foreign Affairs Office met with the press corps.

　　曹赛先对斯里兰卡记者团访深表示欢迎并简要介绍了深圳经济社会发展情况。她用“年轻、创新、绿色、开放、人文”五个关键词总结深圳的特点。正如深圳十大观念提到：“深圳与世界零距离”，目前深圳的国际友城数量为90个，遍及全球57个国家，与斯里兰卡科伦坡也是友城，双方积极开展各领域交流与合作。希望记者团一行通过此次参访增进对深圳的了解，用妙笔生花讲述好深圳故事、中国故事。

　　Director General Cao welcomed the press corps, and briefed the corps on Shenzhen’s last socioeconomic developments. She encapsulated the city’s features with five key words, namely “youth, innovation, greenery, openness and humanity”. “Shenzhen embraces the world”, as is mentioned in Ten Philosophies of Shenzhen Municipality. The city has established sister-city or friendship city relations with 90 cities from 57 countries globally, among which Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital city, is one of them. Shenzhen and Colombo have been maintaining active exchanges and cooperation in various sectors. It is hoped, she added, that the press corps could, through the visit, gain a better understanding of Shenzhen and tell a better story of Shenzhen and China with their sophisticated narratives.

　　记者团成员纷纷对深圳在高质量发展方面取得的成果表示赞叹，并表示会将自身的所见所感，将深圳创新的发展理念和包容的友好态度向读者传播。

　　Members of the press corps marveled at the achievements of Shenzhen’s high-quality development, and said that they would spread to their readers Shenzhen’s innovative development philosophies, inclusive and friendly attitude and what they saw and felt in the city.
