During PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Colombo on April 5, 2025, Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake assured India that Sri Lankan territory will not be used for activities that could threaten Indian security—an apparent response to rising concerns over China’s growing presence in the region. The assurance came alongside the signing of a key defense cooperation pact and initiatives like the development of Trincomalee as an energy hub and the inauguration of the Sampur solar power project. The visit signals a strategic deepening of India-Sri Lanka ties amid shifting regional dynamics. (PC: AFP)
