The China-funded "Colombo Port City" project, whose development is suspended, is seen in Colombo October 19, 2015. Sri Lanka would consider allowing Chinese naval ships to visit again but no request has been forthcoming yet, the country's defence secretary said on Sunday. Sri Lanka's previous government had caused concern in India with its close ties to Beijing, including allowing Chinese submarines to dock. New Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has unnerved China though with his re-examination of relations, including a $1.5-billion Chinese-invested "port city" project in the capital Colombo.
