Recently, a Chinese ship arrived at Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka for docking and India gave its sharp response to this. Now a number of days after this incident, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe has made his nation’s coverage clear in gestures. Regarding Sri Lanka, which is dealing with financial disaster, he stated that he doesn’t need issues just like the Pacific Ocean area to now come to the Indian Ocean area as properly. Also, Sri Lanka has sadly been made a ‘punching bag’ for Hambantota because of the geopolitical system of the Indian Ocean. In such a scenario, Sri Lanka is not going to be a participant within the ‘fight for supremacy of the big powers’ on this area.
Wickremesinghe was addressing the graduate youngsters on the convocation ceremony of the National Defense College on Wednesday. He said- We don’t take part in any navy alliance. At the identical time, we don’t need the issues of the Pacific Ocean area to return within the Indian Ocean area. We don’t wish to make this place a battle or battle zone.
This assertion of Ranil Wickremesinghe can also be necessary as a result of a number of days in the past a Chinese ship ‘Yuan Wang 5’ reached Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka to refuel. A disagreement was witnessed between the Chinese Embassy and the Indian High Commission concerning this docking of the Chinese ship.
Regarding the Hambantota port, Ranil Wickremesinghe stated that because of the geopolitics of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka has been made a punching bag due to this port. But this isn’t a navy port, however ours is a industrial port. This port displays our strategic significance.
