(191221) -- COLOMBO, Dec. 21, 2019 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on March 5, 2019 shows a view of Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said he will not renegotiate the Hambantota Port agreement with China and will look to ensure that the security of the port lied with the Sri Lankan side. Speaking to Colombo-based foreign correspondents at the Presidential Secretariat in the capital Colombo on Thursday, Rajapaksa said he would not renegotiate the commercial agreement of the project as that had already been signed, and he was studying to see if the entire security of the port was under Sri Lanka's control.
