The Indian High Commission in Colombo has strongly responded to a statement made by the Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka developing a connection between the alleged militarisation of the Taiwan Strait and the arrival of the Chinese defence vessel Yuan Wang 5 in Hambantota, saying that the Ambassador’s violation of basic diplomatic etiquette may be a personal trait or reflecting a larger national attitude.
In a series of tweets, the Indian High Commission noted that what Sri Lanka needs is support and not unnecessary pressure or conflicts that serve agendas of another state.
