A four-member delegation from India comprised of Armed Forces instructors from Defence Services Staff College, Wellington and Military Institute of Technology, Pune visited Sri Lanka from 07- 12 November 2022. The delegation conducted a training capsule for Sri Lanka Armed Forces’ officers undergoing a course at Defence Services Command and Staff College, Batalanda on latest Military Technology and its utility in present day & future warfare.

The course covered the latest technological trends in modern day war fighting that include Precision munitions, Cyber domain, Space, Information technology, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. During the visit, the delegation made courtesy calls on the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Staff (SL Air Force), Deputy Chief of Staff (SL Army) and Commandant National Defence College.

Experience sharing and training has been a key pillar of India-Sri Lanka defence cooperation which is marked by great camaraderie and interoperability to enhance security preparedness. Indian and Sri Lankan Armed Forces share critical bilateral training linkages, with Indian Defence Forces’ training institutes offering approximately 1500 training vacancies (Army-900, Navy-350, AirForce-250) annually to Sri Lanka.

India’s unwavering commitment to Capacity building of Sri Lankan Armed Forces and engagements of this nature underscore India’s “Neighbourhood First” policy and the importance of nurturing the existing cordial relations between Indian and Sri Lankan Armed Forces, thereby, contributing towards enhancing regional peace, security and stability.
