Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a direct flight from Colombo to Varanasi in his address from Colombo. PM Modi participated in the Vesak Day celebrations in Colombo today. PM Modi is on a 2-day visit to Sri Lanka where he'll be inaugrating the Dikoya Hospital that has been built with Indian assistance.
Also, what can be seen as PM Modi's neighbourhood first policy push. Sri Lanka has rejected China's request to dock one of its submarines in Colombo as the Indian Prime Minister landed in the island nation.
Sri Lanka last allowed a Chinese submarine to dock in the capital of Colombo in October 2014, a move that triggered fierce opposition from its northern neighbour India, which worries about growing Chinese activity in a country it has long viewed as part of its area of influence.
