President Ranil Wickremesinghe has highlighted the need for a comprehensive review of Sri Lanka’s national security strategy to chart a course devoid of entanglement in the emerging international rivalries and maintain neutrality in the Indian Ocean region.
The review will include a broad range of factors, emerging economic trends and the impacts of climate change, Wickremesinghe said, addressing a Naval gathering in the southern district of Galle.
The President has already appointed a team led by a retired Major General to report to the National Security Council for formulating contemporary security policies.
