However, the simple fact that when someone is outside the area begins showing so much attention though they may have logical reasons to do this since the vast majority of their energy resources pass through this area…
Can it be a sensible thing for countries to doyes? Can that pose a danger to usit may.
We simply have to make sure that it’s being carefully observed,” he said Friday, responding to a question about whether China’s taking possession of a brand new interface in Sri Lanka might pose a danger to India.
Asked when the Navy was still keeping a close eye on these tasks, he stated,”Yes, even about the whole area” The Chinese are making inroads in Sri Lanka in which they got a reclaimed port town near Colombo.
