China said on Thursday that it hoped for an early realization of national reconciliation and social stability in Sri Lanka.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang made the remarks at a regular press conference on Thursday when asked to comment on the air strike at a Sri Lankan air base, which claimed three lives and caused 16 injuries.

"China has always been opposed to terrorist acts of all forms. We sincerely hope that Sri Lanka can achieve national reconciliation and social stability at an early date." Qin said.
