| Summary/Abstract |
There is no doubt that the Modi government is much more assertive and very articulate of its regional interests as compared to the previous government. It has clearly indicated that India would play a leadership role in South Asia, with less interference but more involvement in the development sectors in its neighbouring countries. It wants to make its footprint stronger in the economic development of neighbouring countries. This is not necessarily only to contain China’s aggressive inroads; rather, it is to expand both its shrinking markets as well as its cultural identity. The ‘SAARC Yatra’ by the new Foreign Secretary is an innovative strategy adopted by the MEA to strengthen India’s role in the neighbourhood. With its new leaderships, both India and Sri Lanka should take a fresh look at each other; and it is high time they take the bilateral relationship between the two countries to the next phase.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sri Lanka has begun a new political chapter in 2020 with the election of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who served as defence secretary for nearly a decade under his brother, President Mahinda Rajapaksa from 2005 to 2015. His electoral victory was not unexpected as most of the Sri Lankans hail him and his brother as national heroes for eliminating three-decade long Tamil separatist insurgency by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
