India’s Modi visits Sri Lanka to shore up defence and energy ties
India’s Modi visits Sri Lanka to shore up defence and energy ties
The Indian leader is the first foreign dignitary to visit the island nation since the leftist Dissanayake swept elections last year. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Sri Lanka to strengthen historical defence and energy ties as Colombo balances ties with its powerful neighbour and biggest lender, China. Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake rolled out the red carpet for Modi and welcomed him with a 19-gun salute in the capital’s Independence Square on Saturday. The Indian leader is the first foreign dignitary to visit the island since the leftist Dissanayake swept elections last year. Modi was also conferred with Mithra Vibhushan, Sri Lanka’s highest civilian honour, by Dissanayake. The Indian leader thanked the Sri Lankan president and said the honour was “not just mine but it belongs to the 140 crore [1.4 billion] people of India.” “We believe that our security interests are aligned,” Modi said during a televised ceremony from Dissanayake’s office in Colombo. “Our security is interdependent and interconnected.” The two nations signed a five-year defence cooperation agreement for the training of Sri Lankan military personnel in India as well as information and technology sharing. Dissanayake applauded what he called “India’s rise as a world power, not just a regional power”. “I have reiterated our position to Prime Minister Modi that Sri Lankan territory will not be allowed to be used by anyone to undermine India’s security,” he added. India has previously objected to Chinese submarines and research vessels which have called at the main seaport in Colombo. Sri Lanka has not allowed Chinese submarines to dock since 2014, after India raised concerns over two such visits. Last year, Colombo imposed a ban on foreign research vessels following New Delhi’s accusations that Chinese ships were being used to spy on India. But the visit’s highlight was the launch of a 120-megawatt solar power plant in Sampur in the island’s northeastern Trincomalee district. The plant had been stalled for years but was reinvigorated with New Delhi’s backing as a joint project. Reporting from Colombo, Al Jazeera’s Minelle Fernandez said Dissanayake was also expected to discuss the issue of fishermen from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu allegedly encroaching into Sri Lankan territorial waters. “Hundreds of Indian trawlers are carrying away fish using a mechanised system called bottom trawling, which is also destroying the environment,” she said. Balancing act. Modi’s visit came as Colombo grapples with the competing interests of New Delhi and Beijing. India has been concerned about China’s growing sway in Sri Lanka, which it considers to be within its sphere of geopolitical influence. Dissanayake’s first foreign visit as president was to New Delhi in December, but he followed that with a visit to Beijing in January, underscoring Sri Lanka’s delicate balancing act. China has emerged as Sri Lanka’s largest single bilateral creditor, accounting for more than half of its $14bn bilateral debt at the time the island defaulted on its sovereign debt in 2022. Beijing was the first to restructure its loans to Sri Lanka, a move that cleared the way for the island to emerge from that year’s worst-ever economic meltdown. Colombo also signed an agreement in January with a Chinese state-owned company that will invest $3.7bn in an oil refinery in the island’s south. It would be Sri Lanka’s largest single foreign investment and is seen as crucial for the island’s economy. Modi arrived in Sri Lanka late on Friday from a summit in Thailand and a string of meetings with leaders of regional nations as he sought to shore up India’s relations with neighbours. On the sidelines of the Bangkok BIMSTEC meeting – the grouping of the seven nations on the Bay of Bengal – Modi held a rare face-to-face meeting with Myanmar’s military government chief Min Aung Hlaing. Modi also held talks with Muhammad Yunus, the interim leader of neighbouring Bangladesh – the first such meeting since a revolution in Dhaka removed New Delhi’s long-term ally Sheikh Hasina. India was the biggest benefactor of Hasina’s government and her overthrow sent cross-border relations into a tailspin, culminating in Yunus choosing to make his first state visit last month to China. Modi also met on Friday in Bangkok with his Nepali counterpart KP Sharma Oli, the first since Kathmandu’s leader returned to power last year, as well as Tshering Tobgay of Bhutan. ကိုးကား- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/5/indias modi-visits-sri-lanka-to-shore-up-defence-and-energy-ties

ASEAN urges Myanmar to extend ceasefire, facilitate humanitarian missions after quake
ASEAN urges Myanmar to extend ceasefire, facilitate humanitarian missions after quake
ASEAN countries, especially Malaysia, hope that the military ruling Myanmar will extend the ceasefire beyond the previously announced period so that relief and recovery efforts can continue after the earthquake. Following the devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, the junta has announced a three-week ceasefire until April 22. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said Malaysia and ASEAN welcome the announcement of the ceasefire. He said it needs to be extended, taking into account the extent of the destruction caused by the earthquake and the need for long-term humanitarian assistance, for the security and well-being of the people of Myanmar. “We are very happy with the announcement because in this crisis situation, this country (Myanmar) is facing a catastrophe. “Do not continue with all the conflicts. The most important thing is how the Myanmar people can be rescued and receive assistance, “he said at a press conference before concluding a humanitarian mission to Myanmar here on Saturday. Earlier, Mohamad and his Thai counterpart, Maris Sangiampongsa, jointly led a humanitarian aid mission to Myanmar in response to the earthquake that struck the central region of the country and its surrounding areas, claiming thousands of lives. Further commenting, Mohamad, as chairman of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, also expressed hope that the ceasefire could be extended to ensure rescue teams from Malaysia and other ASEAN countries currently in Myanmar can provide assistance. “If there are things that we see that could threaten the safety of our teams, I will not hesitate to ask our ASEAN counterparts to review our presence in Myanmar, “he said. He further proposed that the humanitarian ceasefire could serve as a precursor for wider, inclusive dialogue among all Myanmar stakeholders, consistent with the objectives of the ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus. During the mission, Mohamad and Maris held meetings with the chairman of the State Administrative Council (SAC) Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and Myanmar Foreign Minister U Than Shwe. Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry in a statement said that during the meeting, Mohamad, on behalf of ASEAN, conveyed ASEAN’s condolences and unwavering support to the people of Myanmar. “He also reaffirmed ASEAN’s collective commitment to continue channelling immediate, effective assistance and long-term support for the recovery efforts of the affected communities, “the statement said. It added that as part of Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian assistance, Mohamad also officially handed over 15 tonnes of humanitarian assistance upon arrival in Nay Pyi Taw. The assistance was handed over to the ASEAN Coordinated Relief Centre for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Management (AHA Centre) which is mandated to coordinate ASEAN’s contributions, including with Myanmar authorities. The assistance was sent via an ASEAN-coordinated relief flight operated by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) from the ASEAN Disaster Emergency Logistics System (DELSA) warehouse in Subang, Malaysia. The third flight carrying additional aid is scheduled to arrive in Nay Pyi Taw on April 7. Before leaving Myanmar, Mohamad also received a situational briefing from the AHA Centre representative in Nay Pyi Taw, who confirmed that the humanitarian operation has now shifted from the search and rescue phase to the recovery phase. The Foreign Ministry said the humanitarian mission also reaffirms ASEAN unity and coordinated regional action, as well as reflecting ASEAN’s strong unity and solidarity, especially in the face of challenging situations and ASEAN’s ability to respond swiftly and integratedly in humanitarian crises.“Malaysia as the ASEAN chair will continue to work closely with other ASEAN member states, the AHA Centre and international humanitarian partners to ensure that the assistance delivered is timely,“ the statement said. translate to myanmar. ကိုးကား-https://thesun.my/malaysia-news/asean-urgesmyanmar-to-extend-ceasefire-facilitate-humanitarian-missions-after quake-FD13897244
