1. The Indian government had expressed concern over the increasing movement of Chinese research vessels in the Indian Ocean, suspected to be spy ships.

2. India appealed to Sri Lanka not to allow such ships to enter its ports. Accordingly, Sri Lanka banned foreign research ships from entering its ports.

3. Sabri said he did not want to get involved in disputes of others. Therefore Sri Lanka will not ban foreign research vessels from its ports from next year. Two Chinese ships were allowed to enter Sri Lankan ports earlier.

Editorial Perspective

Sri Lanka calls itself ‘Friend of India’, but due to China’s pressure, it bends backwards and takes an anti-India decision. Keeping this in mind, India must prepare to retaliate.
