Sri Lanka-India diplomatic row!

Apr 19, 2016

India has started raising objections through diplomatic channels with regard to the promises given by prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to the Chinese government during his recent visit to Beijing, say foreign ministry sources.

The Indian government has strongly objected to the resumption of the port city project and the handover of Mattala airport and Magampura port to China. In response to a request to send a special representative to New Delhi immediately to discuss these matters, the government sent international trade minister Malik Samarawickrama to the Indian capital early this morning (19).

According to reports reaching us, India is to take a firm stance with regard to decisions taken by the Sri Lankan government.
