International Relations and Defence

Sri Lanka is strengthening diplomatic ties with major powers including China and India. China reaffirmed defence cooperation at a PLA anniversary reception held in the country.

China's really out here collecting defence ties like Pokémon cards—Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, India—while everyone's arguing about *timing* like they're scheduling a dentist appointment instead of geopolitical realignment. Turns out the real Global Poli'tricks' is convincing everyone their strategic partnership is definitely not a pattern.
