India Responds To Chinese Ambassador’s Remarks On SL

Responding to recent remarks of Chinese Ambassador on Sri Lanka, Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said Sri Lanka needs support, not unwanted pressure or unnecessary controversies to serve another country’s agenda.

The High Commission said in a twitter post that “We have noted the remarks of the Chinese Ambassador. His violation of basic diplomatic etiquette may be a personal trait or reflecting a larger national attitude”

“His view of Sri Lanka’s northern neighbour may be coloured by how his own country behaves. India, we assure him,is very different,” the High Commission tweeted.

“His imputing a geopolitical context to the visit of a purported scientific research vessel is a giveaway.

Opaqueness and debt driven agendas are now a major challenge, especially for smaller nations. Recent developments are a caution.

Sri Lanka needs support, not unwanted pressure or unnecessary controversies to serve another country’s agenda,” it tweeted.
