我们最开始从一家加拿大公司和一家丹麦公司，收到了可行性研究报告，两家公司都建议我们建设这一港口。这些可行性研究报告跟斯里兰卡和中国都没有半点关系。不能含沙射影地说，我们是为了建造一个港口，才去做了可行性研究。

We first received feasibility studies from a Canadian company and then from a Danish company. Both of these companies recommended the construction of this port, and it was not as if these feasibility studies were done by Sri Lankans or the Chinese. But no insinuation could be made that the feasibility studies were done in order to construct the harbor.
