The Chief of the Army Staff of India, General Upendra Dwivedi, arrived in Sri Lanka earlier today on a two-day official visit, according to a statement issued by the Indian Ministry of Defence.
During his stay, General Dwivedi is expected to hold discussions with senior military and civilian officials, including the Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, the Deputy Minister of Defence and the Defence Secretary. Talks will focus on key areas of cooperation such as joint training initiatives, capacity enhancement and regional security concerns.
As part of his itinerary, the Indian Army Chief will address officers at the Defence Services Command and Staff College and engage with officers and trainees at the Army War College in Buttala. These interactions highlight India’s continued emphasis on defence education and professional exchanges with Sri Lanka.
General Dwivedi will also visit the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) War Memorial to pay tribute to Indian soldiers who laid down their lives in the line of duty.
