I think Sri Lanka should have an intelligent and knowledgeable foreign minister. Sooner the better.

We lost this great opportunity because of Mangala Samaraweers.

The losers --Sri Lanka. Thanks to India and RW.

My3 and the UNP,all policies are for 100 days.They can not think beyond that.

With the port city Chinks attempted to own part of our country and this would have been disastrous. MS did the best thing that could have been done. MARA, who had buffoons as diplomats did nothing to formulate a balanced foreign policy. All his diplomats and supervising ministers did was drinking and fighting in foreign capitals.

To snub China is nothing but stupidity on the part of MS and his caretaker govt. This country deserves more than puppets.
Waco Thursday, 16 April 2015 12:33 PM
Thaiwan is right. We too must not allow Indian Ships to dock in.

China is a better friend than India would ever be. We need to cultivate an independant foreign policy not dictated by India or the USA. Both these selfish countries only look to their befit to our detriment. Its time we recognized who are friends really are. The US is no friend of SrI Lanka. The UNHCR sessions proved that point.

Then why not this new govt under mi3 launch big projects without borrowing loans higher interest rates. Why did these new bosses try to put an end to all the Chinese funded projects under the influence of Big brother India, but continue India funded projects. Who is the big boy in the world economy? India or China?
Waco Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:44 AM
We need a leader , leader with a back bone. Sri Lanka lost a good opportunity.

Good move by the Chinese govt. MS has become a dummy under the influence of India and its West allies. SL lost a great friendship that benefited us over a long period. Now America will feed us with nothing....but communal harmony.

USA CHINA INDIA are not friends as such as each will grab economic, strategic and political advantages as they seem is in their interest. So we must also take decisions as it is of interest to SL only. China was skimming off our money in inflated loans and shoddy work at times like the Norochcholai Plant which was really a shocker.

We had two choices: becoming a proud independent nation respecting all nations or becoming a Gunamaku Niwata nation. We have chosen the latter !
Eng. M.V.R.Perera Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:02 AM
we can win back the Chinese by by going for competitive bidding with a fair pricing formula for 2 coal power stations at Hambantota making full use of the hambantota port with a massive free trade zone the Chinese with their ecconomical clout will definitely win. We also should do the sme at trincomale and show that we are not willing to work for the interest of India but only for the interest of our country
Waco Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:01 AM
Mr. President reconsider your decision and let China to start this project in Trincomalee. It will be good gor Sri Lanka in every angle.Duwa,Do not forget, to pick me up, I am at the shopping centre.. Thank you

Taiwan though an enemy of China will not allow Indian Navy ships to dock in their ports in order to avoid antagonizing China. This does not mean Taiwan is a dummy or does not have backbone. Communal thinking is part and parcel of SL politics, that is why many countries are teaching us to be civilized.
tilak Thursday, 16 April 2015 10:21 AM
Your idiotic comments has no basis. SL has the rights to take the correct decisions. MS has taken the correct decision.

Another Indian rubbish. Gawdar port was built by China before they started to build Hambanthota harbor. Gawdar port will be used to transport fuel ship from Middle east on a land route to China. Now ships sail more than 12500km to reach China. With this land route opening it reduces to 2000km. How it relates to Colombo or Hambanthota harbor issues via DM Android App
