project site: A ceremony held on Wednesday in Sri Lanka's capital marked the reclamation of 269 hectares of land from the ocean, and the last four state-of-the-art dredgers used for the sand mining operation left the project site, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday, according to Global Times China. The process also showcased China's high-standard technology in land reclamation represented by dredgers such as Jun Yang 1 and Wan Qing Sha operated by CCCC Guangzhou Dredging Co. Photo VCG As the China-invested Colombo Port City project has completed its land reclamation, a milestone in the progress of the project, Chinese analysts said on Sunday that it is set to become a template for investment in South Asia under the Belt and Road initiative BRI if it develops smoothly. The four big dredgers including Jun Yang 1 and Wan Qing Sha, with a total value of 400 million, started reclamation work simultaneously in June last year. The completion of the first phase of the Colombo Port City project is very significant since it lays a solid foundation for further construction, Zhao told the Global Times on Sunday. Zhao Gancheng, director of the Center for Asia-Pacific Studies at the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, said China's technology in land reclamation is currently leading the world with strong hardware.
