Pooja YadavApril 11, 20220

Indian diplomacy must be more proactive when it involves Sri Lanka. China could leverage its position within the current depression. Sri Lanka’s depression is an emergent phenomenon and has been stewing for an extended time. What's strange about it's the dearth of basic planning and foresight by the Rajapaksa government to own gauged its enormity in time and initiate necessary corrective measures.
