SANYA - President Hu Jintao said in Sanya on Thursday that China was confident and capable of hosting a good Olympic Games.
He made the remarks in his meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse in the southern island province.
The Beijing Olympic Games meets the aspiration of the Chinese people for the past 100 years and is also the common expectation of people worldwide, he said.
With support from people around the world, China was confident to and capable of phasing out all interference and host a successful Olympic Games.
Any attempt to undermine the August Games was doomed to fail, Rajapakse said, adding Sri Lanka wholeheartedly wished the Beijing Olympiad success.
Sri Lanka firmly adhered to the one-China policy and resolutely supported the policy of the Chinese government on the Taiwan and Tibet issues, he said.
Hu recalled his meeting with Rajapakse in February last year, in which the two leaders reached a broad consensus on facilitating Sino-Sri Lanka ties.
"Over the past year, much of the consensus has been seriously implemented," Hu said, adding the activities commemorating the 50th anniversary of China-Sri Lanka diplomatic ties and the Year of China-Sri Lanka Friendship had achieved great success.
Appraising the rapid bilateral trade growth, Hu said the large-scale cooperative programs in energy, ports and other fields had moved ahead smoothly and the two countries' cultural and sport exchanges were quite fruitful. China was satisfied with the status quo of China-Sri Lanka relations, he added.
