India fiercely told the Chinese ambassador
The Indian Embassy in Sri Lanka tweeted that we have seen the comments of the Chinese Ambassador. His violation of basic diplomatic etiquette may be a personal trait or reflect a larger national attitude. His view of Sri Lanka’s northern neighbor may have been influenced by the behavior of his own country. We assure them that India is very different. His imposition of a geopolitical context is a cheap excuse for a visit to an alleged scientific research vessel.
India warns the world about Chinese debt
India also warned the whole world about the Chinese debt trap by giving the example of Sri Lanka. India said the agenda driven by ambiguity and debt is now a major challenge. The recent developments are a warning, especially for smaller countries. India said Sri Lanka needed support and not undue pressure or unnecessary controversies to fulfill the agenda of another country.
What did the Chinese ambassador say
Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Ki Zhenhong, without taking India’s name directly, had said that external obstructions based on so-called security concerns without proof from some powers are in fact total interference with Sri Lanka’s sovereignty and independence. The Chinese ambassador said the incident had been properly resolved, which not only protected Sri Lanka’s sovereignty and independence, but also once again protected international fairness and justice. Ki said that diplomatic relations between China and Sri Lanka were established 65 years ago and since then the two have been understanding, respecting and supporting each other on topics of important interests and major concerns.
