Question

Mention any two problems related to Indo-Srilanka relations.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Air pollution and water pollution are challenges for Sri Lanka since both cause negative health impacts. Overfishing and insufficient waste management, especially in rural areas, leads to environmental pollution. Sri Lanka is also vulnerable to climate change impacts such as extreme weather events and sea level rise.

Answer 2

The two issues are Chinese intervention and fisherman issue.

• The first key issue is the strategic declaration of China and flexing of its Indo-Pacific naval force.  
• In recent years, China has provided the Sri Lankan government with billions of dollars in loans for new infrastructure projects, which is not good for India's strategic depth in the Indian Ocean region.
• In Sri Lanka, the opposition parties and local trade unions have already dubbed port agreement as a sale to China of their country's national properties.  
• Given the proximity of both countries' territorial waters, there are standard cases of fishermen straying as well.
• Both countries consented on few feasible settings for adequately dealing with potential problem of legal fishermen breaching the International Maritime Boundary Line from either side,
