Colombo, Sri Lanka — CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt) Ltd. has extended Rs. 10 million and critical on-ground assistance to support Sri Lanka’s national recovery following the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah.

Announced on 2nd December 2025, the contribution was handed over by Managing Director Xiong Hongfeng to Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, Secretary to the Treasury, in coordination with the Colombo Port City Economic Commission. Funds were directed to the government’s newly established ‘Rebuilding Sri Lanka’ Fund, managed by the Presidential Secretariat, to aid long-term reconstruction efforts.

In addition to financial aid, CHEC Port City Colombo has deployed 12 heavy disaster-response machines, including excavators, loaders, backhoes, flatbed trucks, and dump trucks, to assist in debris clearance, road repairs, and emergency response operations. The company has also mobilized skilled engineering teams to restore bridges, roads, and access to isolated communities affected by the cyclone.

As a 100% subsidiary of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) with over 25 years of experience in Sri Lanka, CHEC Port City Colombo emphasized its commitment to supporting communities in times of national crisis, beyond its regular development projects.
