Mr. Collure told The Sunday Times he would be making a presentation on one of themes for the event - Regional Security and Multilateral Co-operation. The other themes are Economic Growth and Social progress and National Development of political parties.

Mr. Collure said that the CP in Sri Lanka which renewed its ties with the Communist Party in China has been maintaining steady relations with them and has been sending various levels of delegations for meetings and conferences while in turn several Chinese CP delegations also have visited them in Sri Lanka.

He said that the CP in China maintains contact with various political parties at different levels, though these parties were not following Communist ideology.
