| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Sri Lanka is at the heart of Indian Ocean region, and has occupied geo-strategic location which is viewed as extremely significant. It is a small island situated at the main sea lines of communication between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea and between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. Lately, the Indian Ocean as a whole and Sri Lanka in particular has become a terrain for strategic competition between major powers, including China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Free and Open Indo-Pacific concept initiated by the Quad states (USA, India, Japan, and Australia). |
