The Economic impact is going to be even more better

Lanka remains vital, sitting next to shipping lanes that feed 80% of China's and 65% of India's oil needs Bilateral ties under Sirisena will likely see more focus on the state of Sri Lanka's economy. India will look at improving trade ties with Lanka, which used to be its largest trading partner in South Asia till Bangladesh took that position. The stalled Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between the two countries could see new momentum.
