Talking about Hambantota Port, Wickremesinghe said that Sri Lanka had leased this port to China for 99 years in 2017 due to debt. However, Wickremesinghe also confirmed that the security and control of the port rests with the Sri Lankan government.

India and America are alert

For your information, let us tell you that last year, China had sought permission to anchor the ballistic missile and satellite tracking vessel Yuan Wang, V at Hambantota Port and the Sri Lankan government had also permitted China. Since then, there was an increased apprehension in India and the United States of America that it could be used to spy against India. Although China denied it, India and America are fully alert in this matter.
