India only neighbor to help Sri Lanka – Jaishankar

NEW DELHI, 18 August 2022, (TON): Indian External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said “as the region gains prominence many countries getting active in the Indian Ocean trying to expand their influence.”

He was responding to a question on the Chinese ballistic missile and satellite tracking ship ‘Yuan Wang 5,’ that was granted access to the Hambantota Port.

However, he said “the Indian Ocean will not become another flash point between India and China.”

The External Affairs Minister said “India needs to take care of its national interests but can’t claim exclusivity in the region.”
