It is apt and the timing is just right to seek all available avenues in respect of security in the region and Sri Lanka in particular at a time protracted threats by India remains a possibility even though India’s fake overtures for peace and harmony, notwithstanding India’s clandestine dealings with the West to destabilise Sri Lanka’s stance with regard to its internal affairs; specifically India’s involvement with former LTTE / Tamil tiger terrorists and their remnants that live in the Diasporas such as Canada, UK, Norway, India and those other countries where LTTE has taken route. The only way to manage such situation for Sri Lanka is to strike a balance in its foreign policy in such a way to ward off threats that may come from India and elsewhere. It is quite obvious why Sri Lanka seeks security coverage from friendly nations such as China, Russia, Pakistan and the like. Sri Lanka needs to protect itself from whatever may come and cannot drop guard.
