While New Delhi, Beijing, and the rest of the world elect engineers, diplomats, and policymakers to their constituencies,
Tamil Nadu has elected its new Chief Minister.
All SAARC members have been willing to cooperate, but the main obstacle has come from India. Pakistan has made clear that regional goals cannot be achieved without equality and a shared commitment

Happy Theravada Buddhist New Year.
2569 BE (Buddhist Era)
This system is used in countries like Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos, where the calendar traditionally starts from the year of the Buddha’s passing (Parinirvana).
Minister @BimalRathnayake in St. Petersburg makes a compelling case: transport connectivity is no longer just infrastructure, it’s the backbone of a new world order built on interdependence, resilience, and shared security. From expanding Colombo Port as a global public good to advancing seamless logistics, Sri Lanka positions itself as a key gateway linking South Asia with Eurasia.
His message is clear: true stability comes not from competition, but from connected systems, ports, cables, corridors—that make conflict costly and cooperation essential.
A timely vision aligning with the New Silk Roads and Eurasian connectivity frameworks.

@StateDept Your Gov helping to bomb Palestinians in refugee camps, starve their children to malnutrition, starting this Illegal war, attacking Venezuelan oil tankers, ... list could go on ...
MISJE KANDY is complete; the final vessel in a 10-ship series built by Colombo Dockyard PLC. From Misje Vita, Verde, Viola, Flora, Rose, Lotus, Vera, Lily, to Sakura, this fleet showcases Sri Lanka’s engineering strength, global standards, and export capability, all built in line with the latest @IMOHQ new emission limits.
A strategic industry once led here is now steadily shifting toward India, a reality Sri Lanka must rethink.,
🚨HOLY SHIT !!!!!
Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission.
He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank.
Repost this. Please I beg you
Sri Lanka’s strategic autonomy lies beneath its waters. A dense network of submarine cables surrounds the island powering global data flows, financial transactions, communications, and cloud services. Untapped, yet pivotal. Sri Lanka can position itself at the heart of global digital infrastructure.
@PhoenixTVHK : Sri Lanka rejects US request for combat aircraft landing, cites neutrality.
Speaking to Hong Kong’s @PhoenixTV_News, @YRanaraja highlighted that this was not the first time Sri Lanka has rejected U.S. requests during times of conflict. Similar requests were turned down during the 1971 Indo–Pakistan War and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, reflecting a consistent commitment in Sri Lanka’s foreign policy to neutrality. However, given the current direction of global affairs, a position of strict neutrality is becoming increasingly untenable, and Sri Lanka should instead move towards building greater strategic autonomy.
It is sad that such a good friend of Sri Lanka, Japan is getting ready to act 'on all fronts' in this war.
The fear of isolation facing China and Russia in the future drive this. But this opens another dimension into Chinese's engagement in this war.
Iran's representative to the @IMFNews has said that ships, except those from "enemies", can pass the Strait of Hormuz with coordination for security and safety arrangements.
Port congestion is building rapidly across major transshipment hubs, with Nhava Sheva (JNPT) jumping to 64% congestion and Singapore, Port Klang, and Colombo all exceeding 40%.
As many Asia–Europe and Asia–US East Coast services rely on these ports for transshipment, delays in berthing, loading, and discharging containers could quickly ripple across entire service networks, extending transit times and tightening capacity.
At its peak (3rd century BCE–10th century CE), the Anuradhapura Kingdom in Sri Lanka was one of the world’s most thriving and sophisticated urban centers, known for its trading, faith, and engineering.
It was the modern-day New York City of its time.
Why risk your money in Dubai?
Port City Colombo offers 100% foreign ownership, zero tax incentives and investor-friendly benefits.
With regional tensions rising after the death of Ali Khamenei, long-term stability matters more than ever.
Choose smart. Choose stability.
