The National Security Adviser of India, Ajit Doval, will be in Sri Lanka on Friday for trilateral discussions among India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, the Hindu reported. This is Mr. Doval’s second official visit to Sri Lanka this year. He was in Sri Lanka in January and held discussions on strengthening military ties and countering a “debt trap”, with the Sri Lankan leadership. New Delhi was waiting for the conclusion of Sri Lanka’s parliamentary elections to revive the trilateral talks, sources said. The visiting delegations, Sri Lanka maintained, were within a “travel bubble”, and “followed all health protocols”.
