Which country does Colombo come from?

Colombo is the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. The population is 642 163, with a large area of 2234289(2006, 5438+0). It is located on the southwest coast of Ceylon Island, bordering on the Indian Ocean and bounded by the Karenni River in the north.

Colombo, as the gateway of Sri Lanka, is called "the crossroads of the East". It is the largest city and commercial center in Sri Lanka, an important port in the Indian Ocean and a world-famous artificial seaport. Colombo's name comes from the Sinhalese word Kola-amba-thota, which means "Mango Harbor".

The real capital of Sri Lanka is located in the suburbs. However, due to its proximity, official data of many countries still record Colombo as the Sri Lankan capital, including the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
