Lanka Dispatch: Issue 01, Vol 01

Mapping Sri Lanka's Place in the World

In the first issue of Lanka Dispatch, we move beyond quarterly updates on China-Sri Lanka relations to look at something broader: how our island navigates a world that is fragmented and volatile.

For years, Arutha tracked Colombo’s engagement with Beijing, but the reality of 2026 is that Sri Lanka’s economic future is reliant on a much more complex political economy.

This Dispatch is an attempt to map that reality and defines Sri Lanka’s place in an increasingly unpredictable global world order.
