Indians should understand that Sri Lanka is a sovereign & independent country and it has its friends, allies and plans. There is no way Sri Lanka will inherent Indians insecurities and enemies.
@innocentmushi3036 🤔
It’s their own country. They can let anyone stay if they want.
not an enemy country to India who bailed them out when they were trapped.
@@zanjeer7827 U mean if the bank gives u a loan, the bank is allowed to dictate how you run your business ?? As long as you making your payments according to the loan agreements, the bank has no say in the day to day operations. India should butt out and respect Sri Lanka's sovereignty.
@@bobmorane4926 Low life, who is making payments? And for those cheap quality apartments, it is better to stop making payments. As for big talks, just wait.
@@zanjeer7827 is Indian military that weak to think that a simple port call to Colombo means a invasion of India by China? It's not like some military agreement to host Chinese Navy in Colombo port, which is a justifiable threat. Btw, these arrangements are discussed in detail by the military aparatus of both India and Sri Lanka.. Just some youtube commentor like you, out of nowhere can't come and say that India is in danger without access to that detail.. Not even a news reporter like Palki can... But you can speculate of course.. However, it doesnt' mean that's the truth. Btw India didn't bail SL out.. It was IMF.. India gave 4 billion credit line(loan) to buy supplies from Indian 'producers' only. So essentially India used the crisis as an opportunity to increase their trade... Newspapers reported that it was mainly because the Indian spice trade got impacted by SL's situation because SL is a large importer of Indian produce and a country like India where farmers are committing suicide it's a big win.. get it?
@@eranjeneabeysinghe8100it’s not about weak or strong. It’s called strategy. Of course you don’t have big enough brains to understand or comprehend words like that 😂
Here, I’ll make it easy for your brain to understand why it’s such a big deal. The closer the enemy is to a country, shorter it takes for a missile to hit them. From Columbia, we are talking about a couple minutes of response time. Which would be very hard for any country to react and intercept in that short time. Even to America. So that’s why it’s a big deal
Sri Lanka is an independent country. They can decide on any matter of national interest. India has no right to interfere.
India is not interfering Mr. It has just raised their valid concerns.
When Sri Lankan government has problems India or other countries should help them. But shouldn't ask questions?
@@peterparker-pl8wt Simple puto! WHen USA asked the Indians not to buy Russian oil they said it's India's interests despite getting jobs and business from the US..and that US doesn't own India.. Similarly, just because SL has been getting 'loans' from India, doesn't mean India owns them. get it Indian? Once the 4 billion loan is paid back, SL doesn't owe India anything even..
Palki suffering from Chinese-phobia 😢
Because world is suffering from chinese virus...
When US asks India not to buy oil from Russia then it's India's national interest. But when SL works with China for peaceful purposes, it's not called "Sri Lankan interests"... What a hypocrisy by the Indians.. They are bullying the South Asian countries and that's why they are turning to China.. Indians shut down Nepal's economic activity.. Runs coups in Bangladesh... Forcibly keeps military in Maldives.... Created and financed terrorist groups in Sri Lanka.... It's seriously a menace
China fever in Sharma head
At least he knows his diplomacy. Looking at the next generation of politicians who do not understand the basics of international relations he has scored in this interview.
So so absolutely respectful, the words/ phrases used, the body language, the eye sight. Certainly president feels so comfortable in an interview environment. 😊😁😄
Absolutely, unlike unprofessional BBC/C4
It's like Indian foreign ministry asking questions on China.
ඇද්ද? ඔය අහගත්තෙ.

The chemistry in this interview is like, a boy and a girl having a crush on each other but not sure to ask straight away for relationship because there is also other prospective party which might be blown away. 🤣
Palki has a very pleasing way of interviewing people. Very candidly and openly asking tough questions. Ranil too has shown his diplomatic talent here.
Ranil is always nice to Palki but not so much to her German counterpart as everyone knows.
@@Gordi_B true .. Ranil lost his cool there. But western media has some serious credibility issues.
@@chula3155 agreed
ANE ME INDIAN WESTA PUKA DENNA EPA MODA CHULO
The presenter is asking questions from the President of Sri Lanka completely forgetting how India has dealt with Sri Lanka in the last 40 years. India has no understanding of Sri Lanka. So they make the same mistake over and over again.
Sri Lankan are a country that has never been ruled as part of India in its 3000 years of recorded history, creating a unique people of their own through Buddhism and the Sinhala language. Being located in the middle of the Indian Ocean that connects three continents, it is a country that has maintained strong trade relations with many countries of the world for thousands of years.If we talk China, Sri Lanka maintains a long-term relationship with Buddhism and trades with any country in the world.
The war of Tamil Eelam terrorists lasted for 30 years and Sri Lankans have the pain of killing thousands of innocent Sri Lankans and destroying the economy. This experience Sri Lankans know very well how to deal with the countries that broke Sri Lanka's trust during this war.
Sri Lankans are well aware of India's duplicitous and hypocritical policy towards Sri Lanka. Sri Lankans do not believe in the actions of the Indian government. But Sri Lanka is a friendly country and gets along well with common Indians.
Srilanka is bastard country. It is begging world for food . Ready for selling their women for money
The interview debunk all of palki claim against China.
Didn’t debunk anything the Chinese can’t do much in lanka Sri Lanka wil not damage ties with india
@@johnbobert9097 the Indian gave loan too. Where did the money go. The Chinese money goes to the port. You can see the port operating. The Sri langkan can get a job there. Tell me and prove to me where the Indian loan goes.

@@udayasampath3530 looking at Sri Lanka clearly you are wrong
Well good they should move on

Dear Palki: I like your style and straightforwardness a lot but Why are you trying to force him again and again to blame China for their economical problem s while he is clearly saying the truth was different.
True, it's the uneducated governance that brought the country to where it is.
Lol China is the reason behind it. He does not have the ball to accept it. So it's not the fault of the jurno
@@junming8009How are u bot?
Srilanka is just a clever country that gets benefits from all by acting like they are with you. I haven't seen them giving any benefit to India, dont think the people consider India as a friend either. No point going out of the way to give them favors
you can expect that from a high educated country in the region TBH,
and india broke the trust of lanka several times within 3 decades , thats how china entered lanka, and now its useless to try build that broken trust
I agree, look at what the previously elected by the uneducated majority did to the country. Shame, KARMA hits hard for who they are oppressing.
Agree 100%! Ungrateful B@$t@₹d$ !
@@skipper2594 🤣🤣🤣 high educated, what high?? the correct sentence is highly educated.
Such a cool interview! Ranil did great with Palki's questions. Palki, you ask tough stuff, but it seemed like you both had fun😊 Awesome job and really enjoyed watching!
Seems like Palki is forcing the issue for the president of Sri Lanka that China is the bad guy while India is the best friend Sri Lanka ever have. Such a properganda mouth piece for her boss Modi and her master in Washington. I give the credit to president to keep the question and answer straight forward without any lead toward Palki agenda, which is to destory China international influence in South Asia. Palki kept on insisting that China this, China that the President grew tired of her interrogation.
Well that's the biggest problem of helping srilanka
Then why begging help from India go give your ass to Chinese like you gave hambantota port
She is not wrong. Xi has whole country sucking to him. Anyway problem with srilanka is, they had forgave but also forget. Let's hope same thing doesn't happen again

Anyways I dont know what u meant won't happen but the only guys with ego are the west so that's why I figured u might be implying western influence over Indians
Firstly, let me thank Palki for conducting an interview with due courtsey to the President of Sri Lanka. Unlike some journalists who imagine that they are on a higher pedestal and look down on the interviewee, she managed raise questions of controversy and perhaps on issues which are at her heart, with tact and informal diplomacy. She got her answer with regard to research vesels that military as well as scientific ships of all nationalities have visited Sri Lanka but publicity is given when some research ships come to Sri Lanka. Furthermore an emphatic stand that no spyship would be entertained was made. I suggest that Palki to do research as to how two Indian warships were docked in Hambantota Port, one which is supposed to be Chinese controlled, so that a clearer picture of the ground situation can be assesed by her.

I hope all the Indian friends know the hard truth we Chinese learned from our painful past: The world is all about power and money, whether we like to admit it or not. The only way India can get what it wants is by becoming a powerful country. Bashing and souring bad-talking China like Firstpost did won't get you anywhere. How many episodes did Wion and Firstpost have on Sri Lankan so far? how many times you try to make China look bad in the Sri Lankan, yet Sri Lankan don't give a damn, that's just perfect example of what I wanted to say.
Maybe an example of a 'fool that never learns' 🙂. Next time sri lanka gets in trouble India can prioritize helping friendly neighbours rather than giving away a billion dollars. If sri lanka likes to 'be on its knees' everytime they want to restructure their debt with china then that's their prerogative.
As for firstpost's reporting, you not liking it will not change reality because this is not china lol where media will only say what their govt. wants and only praise the govt. like parrots. 🤡

India must be very cautious in dealing with this type of neighbours!

I'm no Ranil fan, infact I would support any Sri Lankan other than Ranil at any given moment, but here he answered well.
Maldives is a sovereign nation and India must first understand that without being imperialist. Also Sri Lanka can't oppose the Maldivian stance as I previously said Maldives is a sovereign nation and haven't violated the international law or human rights. Also the bilateral relations between India and Maldives are not of the Sri Lankan interest as we are not a superpower to meddle in other issues, we have more internal problems to fix, 🇮🇳 & 🇲🇻 may solve their issues by themselves.

You must be a Chinese predictor.
Sri Lanka and for that matter all Indian neighbors understand that helping them is Indian compulsions and thus can be taken for granted.
A very good interview! President of Sri Lanka urges India (via Palki”) to have an open mind and trust Sri Langka & Maldives to managed their own internal / external matters. These are also nations with own leadership and will know how to deal with their adversaries or partners. For example, what is wrong in connecting up with Myanmar & African Ports for a trade route? In fact India can even offer Chennai along the eastern coast as another connection 14:27 . Also what is wrong to allow Chinese vessels to dock -‘and being so suspicious of spying? Do you know when vessels dock, they have to pay for all the Port Dues / Pilotages and a chance of vessels to buy provisions & services? Being narrow minded and also worried of others’ progression will only deter own’s progression. That is the karma we all believe.
You are calling us narrow minded when it involves our security situation ...remember when it will come to our security situation we will never think of interviewing ...we will take action whether its srilanka or pakistan...or others...you lost your port still haven't learnt a thing...so don't preach your policy on us...
@@kuldeeppandey214 - using ‘national security’ is the usual excuse. Here is the question, has there been any proof that the Chinese vessels spied on India? If so spied on what? Have they set up a military base in Sri Langka? Neither have Sri Langka join any military pack, unlike India had joined Aukus? What have India do when US supplied military arms to Pakistan years ago? They maybe more is concern for you.
What do you know about Sri Langka’ lost port? Was the port now fully owned or operated by China? China may have arranged the loans and build it but does not necessary that Sri Langka signed off the port to them. Isn’t now Sri Langka’s chance to have a new port facilities after the many years of no port renewal program? Now they can take bigger vessels and like the President said, even other military vessels also berth there.
With the new improved port facilities what is the issue when brought up of the concern when effort is trying to streamline a trade route between Myanmar & the strategic port of Sri Langka? Isn’t this will also help war torn Myanmar to export and also bringing business to Sri Langka?
There are also other new developments (but not military) in Bangladesh, Maldives, Pakistan, Nepal & Bhutan. But it does not mean these countries are enemy of India. Just like the President said, he maintained a cordial relationship with Modi. Of course, he needs to be nice to Modi & Xi, so that his country will benefit from both ends. It is the same like how Modi played both sides between Biden & Putin as to reap the goodwill.
Conclusively, if you do not progress, you can’t stop others from improving. Look at EU, how closely they worked together to bring up their neighbours.
Thus, that is what I meant that India cannot be so ‘narrow minded’ & even envy / selfish of it’s neighbours’ and try to deter them from it. The world’National Security’ is commonly used but can’t hold water. Suggest you read more of the developments (not only politics) and give it a a deeper thought.
@@eskay2012 it might seems like usual excuse for you...but not us...we take it seriously whether it involves our friendly neighbour or so called peaceful country pak...

Once we had brotherly relation (Hindi chini Bhai Bhai) with them and we learnt our lesson... Third you might gain some timely benefit with them but the time comes it will be same like Tibet.

@@kuldeeppandey214 - no one is preaching anything but just urging you to have better understanding of the development & geopolitics that is surrounding you. Yes India have good FM and a potential future PM. We hope he will bring India out of poverty.
Let see what will happen in the war.If western countries, try for a conflict in India through Khalistan and together with Kashmir issues, you don't have any friend. F 16s already deployed to Pakistan. Russia may not with your side if there are any conflict with China . 50 separate states will be the result.
Indian Video sites should concentrate on India ,s internal issues .
Call experts- Non - Indians n look at possible solutions .
.
Indians n Indian National Leaders created internal national problems .
a- British looting of India of 42:trillion .
Who allowed British in ,Did Indian National leaders sold the rights of Indians to the Britush for money ,business contracts,for power etc
b - Overpopulation by 1 billion .
Indua increase its by 1 billion in 70 years ! Why ?
c- Political system - Election commission of India - hundreds ,thousands of political parties are registered .Ehy !
India - big country,big pipulatiin ,weak ,poor ,why hundreds of political parties,why daily stupid politics ,why politcal violence etc wastung time on National ,state ,local elections etc
Central govt - one party ,state govts - different parties etc ni uniformity in policies
d- Indian bureaucracy ,civil service poor ,corrupt etc
e- Caste systen - why go to temple n pray n then still practice caste etc
f- Black market economy - 900 billion , who is running this ?
g- Indian brain drain - how to solve / reduce
h- Corruption -ranking India - No ;68 out of 190 countries
i- Ease of doing business - ranking- India - no : 63' out of 190 countries .
j - Democracy - a curse for India !
Why blindly follow British system ?
k - Finalky - why is India big mouth telling world going to do this n that but havent done anything !
Famous saying
**If u want anything said - India
If u want anything done - China **.
Even the Universe does not tell us what it wants to do ?
Soft power don't work. We have to do what are ancestors had did before just like raja raja chola.
Should have done when you had the best opportunity when China and US was looking away. Now it's not that simple with China and US vying for SL. 😂😅
Raja Raja failed. Cholas weren't able to conquer SL. They occupied the north for 70 years under insurgency before being driven out. No Indian empire was able to capture or conquer SL. Other than Prince Vijaya 2900 years ago. This President Wickramasinha is descendant of the original Aryan Sinhalese.
you mean that nearly 50 years of sri lankan 2 500 years old history which 3/4 of lankan land was controled by endia for just 50 years,lol,its like a dust of sri lankan dominence as a independent country ,
@@supremegodemperordonaldtru3563
Incorrect. Sri Lanka was conquered by Cholas. I am sure you are an Aryan and it hurts you to admit Aryans were defeated.
By the way Vijaya did not conquer SL. Do you know who ruled SL when Vijaya arrived?
@@janj6791 Cholas literally failed to capture SL and were driven out in 70 years. IF they succeeded they would still control Sri Lanka. ARE THEY CONTROLLING SRI LANKA TODAY? NO. Why is that? Because Cholas failed to conquer Sri Lanka. You clowns are hilarious.
Thanks Sri Lankan.
This ship came to Sri Lanka is only for replenishment. Their mission is tracing Chinese satellite launch or spaceship return to earth on the sea. They have to take position before we launch satellite/spaceship.
lol🤣🤣......ok tracing Indian satellite launch or spaceship return to earth on the sea India will too dock its ship in Taiwan and lets see how ur Country feels???
@jimwong. 😂😅😂
Whom are you trying to hoodwink?
If that's the level of intellect China possess surely it would not have grown powerful as it is.
Awesome work with the interview Palki. Loved it, a few hard questions, genuine answers, really down to earth. Great work.
I must say he was admiring her towards the last comment in this interview.
I see she has a lot of respect for him.
Have to give credit to president how he answer those questions love it.
Palki , you need to do more research and verify what RW says 😅
Why don’t you write the script for the President to response to Palki?
Red Chili🌶 Has 2 Faces 😊😷
Palki is choked😂😂😂
Sri Lanka remains closer to india they will listen to india Belive me uneducated boy
Ur ami choke on my lora😂
India likes to cry
Excellent, keep your finger on the pulse of India's neighbor.
Proud of you Palki. Please take more interview of head of the states. Do more for Africa. India needs to stand with African continent
Govt of india should take a note of this statement
Mr Modi pls send another 4 billion to SL. that will will make them behave nice towards you for another 6 months then back to square 1. Modi s appeasement policies neither worked internally nor externally.
The court decision finding Rajapaksas' responsible is NOT a good one for democracy, fundamental rights and human rights! Why? If a leader is reponsicible for a debacle of a country, his FREEWILL should be supreme, unchallengeable, in short he should be given powers of a dictator! The reason is he is not allowed to give EXCUSES, if so power to do as he wishes!
Yup, after all the war crimes committed, he turned on the country and now he is living happily. The people are suffering now, this is karma for the oppression in the country
🤣The look on Palki's face when she realizes that the new Sri Lankan President is not an Indian puppet. She thought the man was not interested in belt and road linking with Myanmar, to he shock he is interested in increasing connectivity and trade with China and the rest of the world. 🤣
He will not go against india tho and let Chinese build radar bases on his land 😂 u guys don’t think before u speak
@@johnbobert9097 what are you even talking about? What Radar are you talking about? You are the one who doesn't think before you speak.
As a small country you cannot totally forget china and work only with India. You have to work with both. As a good neighbour India should try to pass economic benefits to SL like what china is doing with Vietnam. India should try to share their economic fortunes like setting up manufacturing plants etc with neighboring countries for a better economically stabilised south asia region. SLs never forgot the support given by India during the crisis. China - well u need to manage them more strategically.
In case you forgot, china plan is to take yur nation don't ask help when ths trone comes so naivete
China is not exactly neighbor , it's Chinese cheque book which is attractive to SL.
India should not worry Sri Lanka with China funding. Pl allow Lanka to recover. India should aid Lanka on :
@ ship building
@ mobile factory
@ fruits orchards
@ education apps
@ vertical cultivation
Happy Thanks giving 2023.
RANIL is actually a genius , he is a walking library too,I not gonna support him , Im not his henchman, but I had to say that , he is also cunning and cant understand whats his side sometimes , for him or for sri lanka... after being the president , he started to stand at the side of sri lanka, but who knows , may be all these for the next election, so its risky to support him,
and I know one thing for sure , that in 2024 the ruling party of SRI LANKA is definitly the SRI LANKAN COMMUNIST PARTY called ''janata vimukti peramuna'', they already get more than 70% votes in almost every vote pole in sri lankan provinces, and what you guess?for what will a communist gvmnt support after getting power in 2024??
and many sri lankans are very happy to accept that party already (I dont know that Im okay or not with the communist party , but have to agree that theres no any corruption in that party as it seems when looking at its decades of history )
70% ????...or 7%.....😂😂😂😂😂😂
just look at vote poles and findout , and sri lanka doing monthly survey for it too look at the news feed , 7% is definitly SJb@@uppam
@@uppam3% 😂😂
it was 3% in 2019,, and I m not supporting any party ,but I said what surveys say , so nothing to laugh@@gihan.u2001
What he said about the broken system is correct but his answer to the Rajapakse issue was not honest.
India : China China China
China: India focus why always me why jealous 😂😂
Corona Corona Corona ya M4dda
Wikramasinghe is pronounced with the sounds "sing" "her" at the end. Not the way you say it.
China don't badmouthing any country work with lndia..but lndia keep badmouthing neighbour countries that work with China..so this is the different between the two country.
You play the game and so do we
PROPAGANDA GODDESS OF INDIA SHOWING HER SOUR GRAPE. Why is she worried about Sri Lanka? . It is an independent country, not a colony of India
Palki Sharma, I am missing you! ❤
Super sir ❤
Probably the best journalist India ever had ! I hope she doesn't follow the Arnob route.
First post - should stop **China bashing** n hughlight what are the good ideas that India can learn from China.
Education policy
Technoligy development
Up.liftment of poverty
Upskilling of Chibese workers measures
everyone knows firstpost and palki are obedient house servants and mouth piece for their anglo colonial masters and are told what to say and do as good little imp of darkness
Dear palki Sharma I think you are going too far regarding the foreign policy of Maldives. Its weird that you were asking sri lankan president about Maldivian decisions.
But good answer from Sri Lankan president 👍🏼
Sri Lankan best prasidant ranik wickremesinghe He Good Prasidant ❤ 🇱🇰 Ranil Very education He dreams Is Sri lankan south asian Very Good iconomic Country
I am glad to hear Sri Lanka is getting out of the woods by trying to restructure its economy. I am looking forward to see the country getting back to normal.
Sri lanka is playing on both sides.
how come you have not interviewed president murmu till now?!
You know,when you are weak and don’t have the power,don’t be like a master tells other countries what they should do,right now India has no power to ask others countries to take sides between India and China!Now even the U.S can’t do it,know yourself well my poor neighbor!
Why is China not transparent about their so-called research carried out by their ships around Sri Lanka and publish their reports?
Does other country do like that? If not, why would China has to do that?
Because China has the power to do it whether India like it or not!
Some people don't realize the Chinese threat that they pose to India in the current geopolitical world order. U know china renaming some places of Arunachal is not a small thing. And if china becomes successful in establishing hegemony in the indo Pacific, i m telling u India will have a tough time. India always tries to maintain good relation with neighbors . We would also want cordial relation with them but tell me what can we do when the other party is trying illegal occupation of ur land. Not only that but supporting our special enemy which would dismantle our border peace. The reason why india is doing china china is this. They r always trying to make fuss in our border areas. And why would India be jealous of China. Lol. Every one knows the changing economic situation of world and how India is advancing in its economic field. It's just that China is provocating India by using the other indian neighbor nations.
Indian naval vessels always come to colombo port , Ive seen many indian navy ships in colombo. Nobody was complaining.
Its because we are neighbours...not the chinese :) and it involves our security with military dictated china...
@@kuldeeppandey214some time i wonder most of you indians are ignorant about how india interfer politics of sri lanka in 80s,70s your country trained LTTE terrorist gave wepons against us our suffering start from that point it's not our country your country is direct thereat to us you have proved it so many time...
@@chamarama9349 Don't blame your doings on India...you people started discriminatory policies against Tamils out there after british rule...that led to the formation of LTTE... Its like Pak blaming India for the separation of Bangladesh which was there own discrimination against bengalis...
@@chamarama9349 it wasn't India's interference that lead to leasing out your port to china...don't blame your policies on India...and offcourse it will look like threat by India when you give space to chinese spy vesells that risk our security situation....
@@kuldeeppandey214 It's because China knows India is no match to threaten them but India is sh..tting in pants when a Chinese ships shows up in the horizon. Simple as that
Bharat🇮🇳 the Land Of Buddha 🙏
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 the Island of Dhamma🙏
❤So dear Bharat people don't doubt the bond Between Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and Bharat 🇮🇳 .
It's a strong bond for thousands of years. Sri Lanka always friendly to Bharat 🇮🇳 but Bharat always doubts Sri Lanka that's the matter should be addressed properly !
May long last the bond between Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and Bharat 🇮🇳 💝
Then why did they genocide ethnic Tamil/ Indians there
Just get to the point Firstpost. You don't need to know who wished for whose birthday and whatnot as if this were a gossip interview. What you wanted to ask was the info on the chinese SHIP although that is also none of your business.
This guy will do anything to be in power.
They have not yet learned the price you pay for trusting the Chi.nese 😢
This fellow is always safe guarding rogue Rajapaksas.this itself a proof.
Anyways ....RW resents when he is encountered head on...
Last time he lost his cool was when the German journalist of DW grilled him..
And now Palki is doin it in a more subtle way😂😂
Who wont lose his composure when the interviewer tried to force the president into the narratives they wanted? This is how the western media works.
DW kept asking about Easter attack even though the report on it was just coming out and bringing up conspiracy theories. That's why the Sri Lankan president got angry then as he should have 👌🏼🙂
With that subtle smile Palki can easily put anyone off balance, not just Ranil. Even I am 😅😂
@@janj6791 - Palki can be pushy at times but she knows when to take a step back. This is the respect due for the person being interviewed. Unlike western media, they kept shoving the ‘narratives’ down people’s throat.
That port is owned by Chinese now, atleast for 99 years. How can SL stop ANY ship research or military? 😅 soon SL might become the next Tibet. Hopefully this time India is more awake
