Man this is sri lanka.What about border control? We are still two countries; you need to obtain an on-arrival viyou can't get a Visa without a good reason.
All projects in the island are not for us, but for powerful countries.

first thing, good luck with the border control. this is sri lanka. Do you remember what happend in covid days? nobody still knows how many indians came here and whether they left. We don't even have proper records in RMV, tax payers or even distribute the money donated by other countries to the people without stealing.What about border control?

Wow, bro, the first thing is that no country survives alone. The world's third-largest economy, world's largest population (Market) out there, just above 40 miles away. Still, we are clinging to old grudges and missing great opportunities. Do you know that when Indians asked their foreign minister why they would give loans worth 3 Billion dolors to a bankrupted country and have no guarantee that money will be repaid, that minister said blood is thicker than the water. The only country that helps us is India. It extends the repayment period to 12 years. and that almost all the country survives because they supported us; if not, we are still in a blood bath that is on par with that that the Haitians witnesses today.
And transporting goods via trains is much faster than that of small freight ships; if trains can ship all the containers via that proposed bridge, that creates cheaper and faster transport. Do you know that last month Sri Lanka proposed a business venture in which we will provide port services to Bangladesh, another massive neighbor with the world's 8th largest population and a very steady economy? and seeks speedy and cheap transportation via Colombo Port.
Yes, of course, but we need to take risks and negotiate; if not, in a thousand years, we will still be a developing country. that happened to us in the Middle Ages. Our stagnation in the economy and poor education create a great void that enables a few hundred western soldiers to surrender us. We were in such a miserable, helpless situation.Man this is sri lanka.

Take Indo Sri lanka agreement as an example. Who is extracting the gist.?Yes, of course, but we need to take risks and negotiate; if not, in a thousand years, we will still be a developing country. that happened to us in the Middle Ages.

If the Indians can enter our market without good competition with ours, this shows the incompetence of our own businesses. If you can't adapt, you can't survive. Think about it: if you produce something that isn't marketable here in Sri Lanka, how could you create an item that is worth exporting? and do not insult Bangladesh; they helped us; it is our own fault that we had to ask for loans from them.first thing, good luck with the border control. this is sri lanka.

I'm not saying we should not make trade agreements with others and stay alone. But if you still think india is doing what you mentioned for friendship and believe that 'blood is thicker than the water', I don't see a point of discussing this anymore. India always had an agenda, from ltte war to the that bullshit 13 amendment to politics. China did same sort of stuff in MR's era.
If india builds that bridge for goods transport, 99% of the goods come will be for SL local consumption not for export. Stuff they need to export to globe, they will use their own ports. What India & Ranil Rajapaksha did with Adani is something utterly bad. Everyone knows adani is extremely toxic company, and Adani is backed by Modi. And If you can recall in a cope meeting or something chairman of ceb revealed Gota directly instructed him to give the approval for adani. Later ranil & the clan approved this without analyzing their proposed rates are the best we can get. All of these done in exchange of the 'blood is thicker than the water' gifts.
Bangladesh got the port because Ranil Ra got an un-payable loan from those buggers too. Everything Indian, Chinese, bangla buggers gave us have a high price. What they get is insanely high than what we get, It's not 50/50. 95 for them 5 for us.
Only Japan, US, europe did things that actually good for us.
I've said this before: we can't be producers since we live in an age that needs Billions of dollars to innovate, and you need huge resources to become a producer. So our chances depend on the service sector. You still don't know how large and powerful that country is; their major cities have much larger populations than us. So do not expect them to respect us, but still, you can negotiate and compete with them in the correct manner. Be humble; take opportunities. adapt and survive. I no longer wish to continue this meaningless discussion. thank you.Take Indo Sri lanka agreement as an example. Who is extracting the gist.?
Also consider the exploitation of fish resources in SL sea area.
Any local leader against it?
We have our own dignity. Though their country is large or small, its not a thing to consider for us. But the point is if they do export or any business in our land, it should be limited to business. No need of involving or threatening or our administration .I've said this before: we can't be producers since we live in an age that needs Billions of dollars to innovate, and you need huge resources to become a producer.
