Abstract
This article attempts to discuss how Sri Lanka is having its role in helping the country like China to have its expansion on the Indian Ocean and how it has enabled China to dominate the Indian Ocean. It also discusses how there will be a construction of diplomatic relationship between the countries lying in the Indian Ocean. The article also deals with Indian Ocean's String of pearls and Sri Lanka's Hambatotta port which is considered as one part of Strings of Pearls planning technique. As a strategically situated maritime doorway to India, Hambantota is very well positioned. It is better located than any Indian port to act as a transshipment centre, because of equal-distance to, and ability to serve both, the East and the West coasts of India as well as Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and smaller countries such as the Maldives.
