India concerned about Chinese ship in Sri LankaReuters, NEW DELHIIndian and Chinese foreign ministers were to attend a regional conference in Uzbekistan yesterday, a day after New Delhi expressed concern over a Chinese military ship’s planned visit to a strategic port in India’s southern neighbor Sri Lanka. An Indian navy officer stands in front of India’s and Sri Lanka’s national flags in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on April 2, 2018. The Pentagon’s annual report on China’s military modernization says the Yuan Wang ships are operated by the Strategic Support Force of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Sri Lanka is a “dialogue partner” in the group, but it was not immediately clear if it was attending. Sri Lanka angered India in 2014 when it allowed a Chinese submarine and a warship to dock in Colombo.
