| Summary/Abstract |
The paper discusses the geostrategic value of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean and how India and Japan have been making efforts to develop stronger relations with Sri Lanka in order to tackle China’s overbearing influence through its various infrastructural projects in Sri Lanka; which directly and indirectly gives China an open access to the sea lanes and routes of the Indian Ocean but also acts as a roadblock for India and Japan’s overall effort towards their Indo-Pacific vision.
