Abstract

India and Sri Lanka have been close neighbours with more than 2500 years of shared history. The interaction between the two countries ranges across various areas but the relations in linear and smooth. To understand the current standing of the two countries, it is necessary to understand the context in which the two states conduct their relations. But despite this, there is a need for freshness in the partnership between the two countries. Over the years, Sri Lanka has turned to China and sees China as a more reliable partner for domestic economic development. The state of bilateral partnership between Sri Lanka and China is a matter of concern for India. India sees China's closeness with Sri Lanka as a weak link in its relations with the island nation.
