As Sri Lanka's creditor nations prepare for their first meeting on Tuesday to co-ordinate restructuring of the Indian Ocean nation's debt, the focus is turning to whether China will attend.

Japan, which initiated the launch together with India and France, has invited all bilateral creditors, including the largest, China, though Japanese officials said it was uncertain whether it would join the talks.
