Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said that his country can\u2019t engage in any activity which will threaten the security of India and that they understand the importance of the Indian concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview to Strategic News International, the President said they will not do anything that will harm India\u2019s security interests and requested Indian government to help in investments, education and also the development of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajapaksa, who, is scheduled to visit India later this week, said they want investments and help but don\u2019t want to get involved in the military and geopolitical rivalry. He called upon countries like India, Singapore, Japan and Australia to come and invest and don\u2019t allow only China to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotabaya said their involvement with China in the last few years of Mahinda Rajapaksa government was purely commercial, but geopolitical analysts tried to show it as part of the String of Pearls, which circles India. He said Hambantota port was Sri Lanka requirement but agreed that they should have never given control of the port to China and that it was a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President said they will request China to renegotiate and come with a better deal to assist them as people are not happy on that deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
