[QUOTE="Dalvinder Singh Grewal, post: 224112, member: 22683"] Luring Campaign of Sri Lanka between India and China Sri Lanka is strategically important both for India and China due to its location in the Indian Ocean This is why during his hurricane tour to Colombo, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar made sure that Sri Lanka is able to pave the way for a crucial IMF loan to stabilize Colombo’s crashing economy. After India paved the way for the crucial bailout package by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stabilize Colombo’s collapsing economy China “came under pressure” to take a similar action, which it had been ignoring for several months now, multiple sources said. Sri Lanka, which is strategically important for both India as well as China due to its location in the Indian Ocean, witnessed a massive spate of protests last year that brought down the then Gotabaya Rajapaksa government that was accused of bringing the economy of the island nation to the brink owing to a monumental debt due to Chinese loans. When External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who was on a 24-hour visit to Sri Lanka, announced Friday that India is ready to give the required assurances needed by the IMF to approve the $2.9 billion package to Colombo, New Delhi also put China “in a fix” even as it “came under pressure” to take similar action, top-level sources said On Sunday, it was reported, China also extended its support to Sri Lanka for the IMF bailout package. However, no official announcement has yet been made by the Xi Jinping government on this. Despite repeated requests by Sri Lanka, China had been reluctant in giving financial assurances to the IMF owing to the political instability in the island nation, said the sources mentioned above. According to a readout by the Sri Lankan foreign ministry, India was the “first country” to officially support the IMF-led debt restructuring program. In September 2022, IMF reached an agreement with Sri Lanka to offer the package with a 48-month arrangement under their extended fund facility (EFF) provision.

Since then, China had been in a dilly-dallying mode and refusing to go for any kind of debt-restructuring talks, giving “mixed signals” to the IMF. But it changed its stance within just a couple of days of India taking the step. According to another source, the fact that India will take such a step was already communicated by National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval to Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to India Milinda Moragoda during the series of meetings they have been having in the last more than six months. “We felt strongly that Sri Lanka’s creditors must take proactive steps to facilitate its recovery. India decided not to wait on others but to do what we believe is right. We extended financing assurances to the IMF to clear the way for Sri Lanka to move forward. Our expectation is that this will not only strengthen Sri Lanka’s position but ensure that all bilateral creditors are dealt with equally,” Jaishankar said in Sri Lanka during a joint media address with his counterpart Ali Sabry. President Ranil Wickremasinghe was also in attendance during the press conference. Earlier this month, Sri Lanka concluded debt restructuring talks with Japan, but Tokyo is yet to take action by way of writing to the IMF to give its financial reassurances.
