Sri Lanka is the only major Asian country that reports of naval visits by other countries as a major news. Those countries send their war ships as part of their power projection and it has nothing to do with “goodwill”. If it is for goodwill then they would be sending not military but cultural or scientific representations.

Lmao, frigates as a show of power? Okay. It's more like Iran doesn't have friends lol.

Even if it means couple of frigates still sailing them thousands of miles away into someone’s waters is power projection.
