Anura Kumara Dissanayake stated that he had “productive discussions” with India’s finance and foreign ministers, as well as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.

Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake arrived in India on Monday for his first overseas visit since taking office. During his visit, Dissanayake emphasized his commitment to strengthening the bilateral relationship between Sri Lanka and India. He highlighted the shared history, cultural ties, and mutual interests of the two neighboring countries, which are vital for regional stability and growth.

Dissanayake engaged in key meetings with Indian officials, including Finance and Foreign Ministers, as well as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. These discussions covered a wide range of topics, including economic cooperation, security concerns, and opportunities for greater collaboration in sectors like trade, infrastructure, and regional security.

The Sri Lankan president’s visit signals a renewed focus on fostering stronger ties between the two nations, with both sides keen to enhance diplomatic, economic, and strategic cooperation in the coming years.

Leaders of Sri Lanka traditionally make their first overseas visit to India, a regional powerhouse in South Asia. This is especially significant as India and China are both vying for influence in the strategically important Indian Ocean region. With its proximity and shared interests in security, trade, and regional stability, Sri Lanka’s relationship with India plays a crucial role in the broader geopolitical dynamics of the area.

Leftist leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who assumed power in September with a pledge to combat corruption, is expected to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi later on Monday. This meeting is seen as a significant step in strengthening bilateral ties between Sri Lanka and India, focusing on cooperation in areas such as trade, security, and governance reforms.

Dissanayake stated that he had held “productive discussions” with India’s Finance Minister, Foreign Minister, and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. These talks are aimed at enhancing economic and security cooperation between the two nations, reinforcing the strategic partnership in the region.

Dissanayake stated, “Our conversations focused on strengthening Indo-Sri Lanka economic cooperation, enhancing investment opportunities, fostering regional security, and advancing key sectors such as tourism and energy.” These discussions highlight the growing collaboration between the two countries in critical areas to promote mutual growth and stability.

Dissanayake added, “These engagements reaffirm the commitment to deepening the partnership between our two nations.” This statement emphasizes the ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations, highlighting the mutual desire to enhance cooperation across various sectors for the benefit of both Sri Lanka and India.

New Delhi has expressed concerns over Beijing’s increasing influence in Sri Lanka, particularly through infrastructure projects and financial investments. India, historically a key ally of Sri Lanka, has been closely monitoring China’s strategic expansion in the Indian Ocean region. This has led to heightened discussions on enhancing bilateral cooperation to counterbalance China’s growing presence in the island nation.

India has significantly increased its involvement in infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka in recent years, focusing on enhancing economic ties and fostering regional stability. However, China remains Sri Lanka’s largest bilateral lender, with its investments spanning large-scale infrastructure projects, including ports and highways. This financial support from China has sparked concerns in India, as it strengthens China’s influence in the region, particularly in the strategically important Indian Ocean. India continues to push for deeper cooperation with Sri Lanka to ensure a balanced and mutually beneficial partnership.

Dissanayake is expected to travel to Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders in early 2025. This visit highlights the importance of maintaining strong diplomatic and economic ties with China, despite India’s growing influence in Sri Lanka. The visit is likely to focus on reinforcing bilateral relations, addressing infrastructure projects, and managing Sri Lanka’s debt situation, as China remains a significant player in the island nation’s economy. This move underscores Sri Lanka’s balanced approach in engaging both India and China for its economic and strategic interests.

Sri Lanka suffered its worst financial crisis in 2022 when it ran out of foreign exchange reserves to pay for essential imports such as food, fuel, and medicines. This led to widespread shortages and public unrest. The country also defaulted on its $46 billion foreign debt, marking a significant economic crisis. The collapse was attributed to a combination of factors, including mismanagement, corruption, the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising global commodity prices. The financial instability triggered a need for urgent international support, including bailout packages from organizations like the IMF.

The love jihad phenomenon has thus become a tool of hate and anger towards Muslims. Afrazul’s killing by Raigher is an extreme demonstration of this form of hate and anger towards Muslims.

For instance, the Hindutva campaign against what it calls the “love jihad” is an attempt to protect Hindu women from Muslim men, as the latter are imagined/blamed to convert Hindu women to Islam through trickery and marriage (Gupta 2018b, 85). Needless to say, these claims are unfounded and Islamophobic imaginations of the Hindu Right.

Other hostilities include false accusations of love jihad (a conspiracy theory claiming Muslim men feign love with non-Muslim women to convert them to Islam) and attempts to convert Muslims to Hinduism by Hindu fundamentalist organizations (Gupta, 2009).
