23421. Sri Lanka drops India and Japan from port partnership
- Surprise unilateral decision follows strikes by labor unions Sri Lanka has pushed Japan and India out of a port project in its capital of Colombo, opting instead to move forward alone, amid pressure by unions at the facility.
- The country's cabinet decided Monday that the East Container Terminal at the Port of Colombo would be wholly owned by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, scrapping the original partnership in a move that has bewildered and frustrated its erstwhile partners. The three countries had signed a memorandum of understanding in May 2019 to develop the terminal. Sri Lanka would have held a 51% stake in the development and operation of the facilities, with India and Japan owning the rest.
- "We have told the Sri Lankan government that this unilateral decision is regrettable," said a senior official at the Japanese Embassy in Sri Lanka. An Indian government spokesman urged the Sri Lankan government to return to the deal, saying "all sides should continue to abide by the existing understandings and commitment," the Press Trust of India reported. Some observers have speculated that Chinese influence may have played a role as well.
