Wijesiri objected saying he had a right to raise the matter but the Speaker told the MP he needs to request for a date to raise the question as it was not in the original agenda of the day.
In a shift from the past, the National Security Advisors of India, Sri Lanka and Maldives decided - after their in-person trilateral meeting in Colombo - to broad-base the maritime security dialogue and include "terrorism", "radicalisation", "extremism", "drugs", "arms and human trafficking", "money laundering" and "cybersecurity" as they made a decision to cooperate in these areas of common concern.
On Thursday, the External Affairs Ministry in New Delhi said the NSA-level trilateral meeting had served as an effective platform for cooperation among Indian Ocean countries.
The mechanism is being revived after six years as earlier meetings were held in 2011 in the Maldives, in 2013 in Sri Lanka, and in 2014 in India.

India has found it hard to match Chinese investments in infrastructure and security in smaller South Asian nations over the last decade, but its own policies have also added to the frayed ties with its neighbors, according to Aman Thakker, adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Shapiro scholar at the University of Oxford. They also chose to hold Deputy NSA level working group meetings biannually for cooperation at operational level, according to the statement.

"India, Maldives and SL recognise their role and responsibility in keeping the region safe & secure", a tweet by Indian High Commission in Maldives said.
