  • After India questioned the 'real purpose' of Chinese 'spy' ship's visit to Hambantota port, Sri Lankan government has asked China to defer the arrival of Yuan Wang 5 ship. The Chinese space-satellite tracker ship was set to dock at the China-leased, strategic Sri Lankan port on August 11 and leave on August 17 after refuelling. Indian officials had reportedly informed Sri Lanka that the Chinese ship could pose a threat to its national security as India's external affairs ministry informed it was monitoring the development closely.
