Sri Lanka's New Regime Backs Big China Port Deal
LANKA-1-articleLarge.jpg


Colombo: In a Move That Will Irk India,Sri Lanka's cabinet said on Thursday it would allow a $1.5 billion "port city" deal with China to go ahead, dropping a threat to cancel the project which had been approved by the previous government.

India has raised concern over security threats posed by Chinese ownership of the freehold of 20 hectares of land next to the main commercial port in Colombo. India uses Colombo as a trans-shipment port.

Chinese President Xi Jinping launched the project, which will be built on reclaimed land, when he visited Columbo in September. India has become increasingly worried about China's influence in Sri Lanka.

Last year, Sri Lanka allowed a Chinese submarine and a warship to dock at Colombo, despite concerns raised by New Delhi. President Maithripala Sirisena was elected in January. Sri Lanka's new Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, said before last month's presidential vote he would cancel the deal if his party came to power because no environmental impact assessment (EIA) or feasibility study had been presented to parliament.

"The prime minister said that an EIA has been done for land reclamation. However, it needs a second EIA for constructions after the land is reclaimed," Senaratne told reporters on Thursday, adding that a feasibility test had been carried out.

"He informed the cabinet that this has to be looked at with the relationship with China and to make any alterations where possible with the understanding of the Chinese government."

Asked if this meant the government would allow the project to go ahead, the spokesman replied: "Yes."

The port city, which would be built on 233 hectares of reclaimed land, would include shopping malls, a water sports area, a mini golf course, hotels, apartments and marinas.

And that's why I have more than 17,500 'likes'. Shows that people love my trolling. Now stop bothering us with your two-penny tripe. It's getting rather irritating.
it is good to know that you are famous in our pakistan forum i appreciate that
 
What's the big deal here? The new government is more business oriented than the previous government. In addition to China there might be investments from the West too and it's not like India hasn't invested in Sri Lanka previously.
the fuzz was created by indians they said we have pulled china out of srilanka
 
The new government is supported by strange bedfellows of Tamil and Muslims, who get shit from Sinhalese. China must learn the lesson that cozying up with one group of elites may see her losing out when the opponent come to power.

Bro, Indian media is too dramatic and thats the reason for all the hype but Indian government is quite realistic.
 
This port was offered to India first but its good for the region India,china and Sri Lanka are Partners

I don't think India had this opportunity which it wasted and didn't know what are the consequences for not building this port. India is building port in Iran, if it had opportunity, why didn't it build port in a country which will now cause serious threats to Indian security? Its not lost opportunity, after what India did in Sri Lanka, looks like that was a denied opportunity.

India has its own interest in S.L and i don't think not involving in the construction of this port would affect the relationship between the countries.

Definitely India has its interest in Sri Lanka. The 10 years of terrorism which Sri Lanka faced was Tamil Tigers supported, backed, sponsored and inducted by who? Yes the country you just mentioned had interest in Sri Lanka.

Aand when Sri Lanka defeated Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, GHQ in Pakistan celebrated that. Just wonder why!

FYI President of S.L is going to visit India but not Pakistan.
