New Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe said that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa-led government tried to pit China and India against each other.
"President Rajapaksa's regime tried to play China against India and India against China but it came a cropper," Wickramasinghe told India’s NDTV.
Responding to a question on pro-China stance of the Mahinda Rajapaksa-government, Ranil Wickremasinghe assured that the new government will have an even-handed approach to its neighbours.
"We are looking into all foreign contracts and local ones, and where there is corruption we will certainly ensure we take action whether it be Chinese or any other country," he added.
After civil war ended in Sri Lanka, the China's investment in the island nation surged to a whole new level during Rajapaksa government. The Chinese banks funded major multi-million dollar infrastructure projects, including building a port city close to Colombo.
