Scientists from China and Sri Lanka conduct joint 'marine scientific' research onboard Chinese vessel

Scientists from China and Sri Lanka are conducting joint marine scientific activities on a Chinese research vessel called 'Shi Yan 6'. The vessel arrived in Colombo last week, and although there were concerns raised by India, permission was granted for the research to take place. The vessel is currently located off the western waters of Sri Lanka and will be studying various aspects of the sea, including seawater temperature, sea wave conditions, fish, and climate change. The research will be limited to western waters and is focused on geophysical exploration.
