India’s External Affairs Ministry denied all media reports claiming that it had pressured Sri Lanka not to allow the controversial Chinese space observation vessel to enter the Hambantota Port.
Speaking to a briefing yesterday (12), Spokesperson for the Indian External Affairs Ministry Arindam Bagchi made it clear that Sri Lanka is a sovereign state and so it can take independent decisions. Concerning security, the matter is related to the sovereign rights of each country, he added.
