Newly-elected President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is steering Sri Lanka towards a nuanced foreign policy that emphasizes collaboration between China and India.
Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s recent
visit to Sri Lanka underscores India’s commitment to bolstering ties with the
strategically located island nation.
India’s resurgence in Sri Lanka, particularly post the
2022 economic crisis, has reshaped public perception and solidified its
position as a key partner in the region's recovery.
As President Dissanayake navigates the complexities of
foreign relations, India faces challenges in maintaining positive bilateral
momentum while addressing potential hurdles.
President Dissanayake’s cautious approach towards China
while fostering ties with India sets the stage for a carefully balanced foreign
policy stance.
India’s engagement with Sri Lanka, including economic
initiatives and political sensitivities, will shape the trajectory of bilateral
relations in the region.
President Dissanayake’s upcoming visit to India promises
to be a pivotal moment in shaping the future direction of bilateral cooperation
between the two nations.
