Sri Lanka on Wednesday said it is holding talks with India to set up a small arms manufacturing unit under the wider ambit of defence cooperation between the two countries. We are in discussions with India to set up a small arms manufacturing unit. We are in touch with our Indian counterparts, there is so much we can take and learn from India, State Minister of Defence Premitha Bandara Tennakoon said responding to a query from the media.

Discussions are ongoing (for) a joint venture in the military industry, Tennakoon said. His statement comes a little more than a month after India’s High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Santosh Jha told a defence seminar here that New Delhi was willing to offer modern defence equipment to friendly partner countries such as Sri Lanka.

Like in other areas, India and Sri Lanka are cooperating closely on security and defence matters. The Indian defence industry today rolls out state-of-the-art systems, advanced technologies and world class equipment, Jha had said on April 10. He added that various advanced platforms and equipment developed indigenously in India can also become viable, affordable and modern solutions for the Sri Lankan military.

Referring to the April 10 meeting, where he himself was present, Tennakoon on Wednesday said, Sri Lanka is not trying to buy anything at the moment, and added that such presentations are annual events. “Connectivity is really good … and military-to-military connectivity … Indian and Sri Lankan military-to-military connectivity is at a high. So we maintain that . that doesn’t mean that we are going to buy anything from anyone,” the minister was quoted as saying by news portal NewsFirst.lk.

Speaking at the Presidential Media Centre under the theme of Collective Path to a Stable Country,’ Tennakoon said, The Indian defence manufacturing arm has boomed during the last two decades, and it’s a model that Sri Lanka will have to look into. We can take a lot from the Indian model. There’s nothing wrong in learning from them. And I think we also should get into manufacturing, he said.

The minister said that the Sri Lankan military has expertise in weapons manufacturing, which, however, is not at a scale expected to be and confirmed, (So) Sri Lanka is in discussion with India to set up a small arms ammunition manufacturing unit. During the April 10 event, apart from Tennakoon, Sri Lanka’s Chief of Defence Staff Gen Shavendra Silva and the Commanders of the Air Force and Navy apart from senior officials from the Sri Lankan Armed Forces were also present.

Led by a senior India’s Ministry of Defence official, a large and very diverse delegation from the Indian defence industry, along with the representatives from the Sri Lankan businesses too had attended that conference. India had asserted that its approach to Sri Lanka is guided by its neighbourhood-first policy and the vision SAGAR or Security and Growth for All in the Region is a flagship government initiative to help Indian Ocean Region neighbours.

Sri Lanka to hold presidential election between Sept 17 and Oct 16: Election Commission

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Sri Lanka will hold presidential election between September 17 and October 16, the country’s top electoral body announced on Thursday.

In a notice signed by its chairman R M A L Ratnayake, the Election Commission said it will call for nominations to hold the Presidential election within the specified timeframe in terms of the provisions of the Constitution.

“In terms of the powers vested in the elections commission the presidential election will be held at a date between 17 September and 16 October,” it said.

The last presidential election was held on November 19, 2019 when Gotabaya Rajapaksa was elected.

The announcement came on the second anniversary of the public uprising against Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s government over the handling of the unprecedented economic crisis in the island nation.

On May 9, 2022, Mahinda Rajapaksa was forced to resign following anti-government protests. Ranil Wickremesinghe replaced him as prime minister. Two months later, Wickremesinghe replaced Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the President to serve the balance term until the end of 2024.

President Wickremesinghe is expected to contest the presidential election under a new symbol, his top aide said last month.

Wickremesinghe, 75, will represent several parties as a national candidate, Senior Presidential Advisor and UNP senior leader Ashu Marasinghe said last month.

The veteran politician has led the United National Party (UNP) since 1994. He has served as prime minister on five occasions, leading six governments.

President Wickremesinghe may have a face-up with his cabinet colleague Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, who is currently serving as the Minister of Justice.

Former president Maithripala Sirisena, the chairman of Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), recently said that Rajapakshe, 65, would be his party’s candidate in the presidential election.

After Sri Lanka, is Nepal next on ITC’s expansion radar? Sanjiv Puri opens up on investment, growth, and demerger

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

In an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18, Sanjiv Puri, Chairman of ITC Group, shed light on the company’s recent foray into Sri Lanka, its investment strategy, and potential future expansions, including a possible move into Nepal.

ITC’s entry into the international hospitality market with ITC Ratnadipa marks the largest investment by any Indian company in Sri Lanka to date. Puri emphasised the significance of ITC Ratnadipa, situated amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean and Beira Lake. With nine vibrant dining options, the property aims to showcase the best of Sri Lanka while adhering to ITC’s renowned hospitality standards.

“The globally acknowledged cuisines of ITC Hotels will also find a pride of place in ITC Ratnadipa through a repertoire of fine dining experiences. ITC Hotels’ commitment to promote local cuisine through its initiative – ‘Local Love’ has led its renowned chefs to draw inspiration from Sri Lanka’s ancient culinary traditions & indigenous foods. The Ahasa bride bar is an experience in itself and the entire property is an engineering and design marvel,” said Sanjiv Puri.

ITC’s expansion plans

Explaining the rationale behind venturing into Sri Lanka, Puri highlighted the country’s untapped tourism potential and its alignment with India’s “neighborhood first” policy. Despite economic challenges, Puri expressed optimism, citing promising macroeconomic indicators and the resilience of Sri Lanka’s economy.

“When we make investments, we look at analysis beyond the near-term issues. Sri Lanka has great potential in terms of tourism and it is not explored that much. The country has a lot to offer and tourism is bound to flourish here. There has been a bounce back in tourism already, and the economic bounce back is also looking up,” Puri said.

Furhter talking about ITC’s investment and expansion plans, Puri revealed that Nepal could be the next destination. With ongoing exploration by its subsidiary, ITC aims to capitalise on proximal markets while maintaining a robust pipeline of 70 properties for the next five years, including 22 new openings in India over the past 24 months.

“We will continue to look at various destinations, but we have a subsidiary in Nepal and we are looking for options there,” said Puri.

ITC demerger and post-COVID travel trends

Touching upon ITC’s demerger process, Puri assured stakeholders of progress, aiming for completion by year-end. Amidst the post-pandemic surge in travel enthusiasm, Puri advocated for sustainable tourism and encouraged the youth to prioritise properties upholding the highest standards of sustainability.

With an optimistic outlook on the hospitality sector, Puri emphasised the evolving preferences of modern travelers and the role of ITC in shaping sustainable and memorable travel experiences. As the company continues to chart its expansion course, all eyes are on potential future endeavors, including a potential entry into the Nepalese market.

Katchatheevu controversy: What official documents show

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M Karunanidhi had expressed his “general acceptance” of the “suggested solution” by the Centre to hand over Katchatheevu Island to Sri Lanka but said that he won’t take a public stand in favour of it due to political reasons. This was after the then Foreign Secretary Kewal Singh met the chief minister on June 19, 1974, in Madras (now Chennai).

Documents from the Ministry of External Affairs in possession of News18 now reveal these facts. These documents also reveal the opinion of the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru over the island.

“I attach no importance at all to this little island and I would have no hesitation in giving up our claim to it. I do not like matters like these pending indefinitely and being raised again and again in Parliament,” said Nehru’s noting dated May 10, 1961, in the document.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the Katchatheevu issue a major one as he has attacked the Congress government for compromising with India’s territorial integrity by ceding the island to Sri Lanka in 1974 as part of an agreement. PM Modi said DMK leaders keep writing to him to get back the island but do not attack their INDIA bloc partner Congress for ceding it in the first place.

The MEA document reveals that while DMK had launched protests against ceding the island in 1974, party chief Karunanidhi had accepted the Centre’s proposal.

“On the substance of the proposal, the Chief Minister indicated that he was inclined to accept the suggested solution…the Chief Minister having once again signified his general acceptance of the suggested solution, said that, for obvious political reasons, he could not be expected to take a public stand in favour of it,” the documents say about foreign secretary’s meeting with the CM.

The document says the chief minister assured the foreign secretary that he would help keep the reaction “low key” and would not allow it to be played up.

“Foreign secretary appreciated this gesture and stressed that nothing should be done to embarrass the Central Government or turn the affair into an issue between the Centre and the state,” the documents say. They add that the Tamil Nadu government had been “kept informed throughout the negotiations with Sri Lanka”. The foreign secretary, in that meeting, had also thanked the chief minister for favouring him with the views of the Tamil Nadu government and said he would report to the foreign minister and prime minister about his talks with the chief minister.

In this meeting, Karunanidhi, however, told the foreign secretary about his “difficulty” that he could not take the opposition into confidence without sharing with them the knowledge about the oil strike and convince them about the need to accept the compromise. The CM wanted to know whether then PM Indira Gandhi had sounded the opposition.

“Foreign secretary said, to his knowledge, the proposal was known only to one or two senior Cabinet Ministers and that probably the Prime Minister would like to have the views of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu before discussing it with the opposition,” the documents reveal.

The chief minister also wanted to know if any mass hysteria had been built in Sri Lanka over Katchatheevu.

“Foreign secretary said that the controlled press in Sri Lanka, unlike that of India, could whip up public feeling on the subject and make a solution difficult to attain.”

The foreign secretary also said that various suggestions had been mooted by the Indian side — like a condominium, a line cutting through the island, and a line skirting the island. “But none of this is acceptable to Sri Lanka,” the foreign secretary told the CM. At one stage, the Tamil Nadu chief secretary suggested that the strong feelings prevalent in the state could help strengthen the central government’s bargaining posture.

“Foreign secretary said this had not been lost sight of but apparently it has had no effect on the Sri Lankan side,” the documents say.

Interestingly, the Centre’s then Attorney General, MC Setalvad, in his opinion to the Centre on October 19, 1958, had said: “…it appears that the balance lies in favour of concluding that the sovereignty of the island was and is in India.”

India provides more grants to build houses in Buddhist sacred town of Sri Lanka

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

India has signed an additional grant of Sri Lanka rupees 150 million to build houses and infrastructure facilities in the Buddhist sacred town of Anuradhapura, the Indian High Commission has said.

Santosh Jha, the High Commissioner of India, and the relevant Sri Lankan officials on March 21 exchanged letters about the grant to the island nation.

With this, the Indian government’s total commitment to the project currently stands at SLR 450 million for the construction of houses and infrastructure facilities in Sobitha Thero village of Anuradhapura. The late Sobhitha Thero was an iconic Buddhist monk in the island nation’s good governance movement. Responding to the drastic changes in the economic landscape of Sri Lanka, the Government of India decided to infuse additional funds into nine ongoing grant projects to expeditiously complete these projects, while also minimising the impact of the sharp rise in the cost of construction materials on the original scope of projects. The extent of additional funds is up to 50 per cent of the original commitment by GOI in each of the nine projects,” the Indian High Commission said.
