Strengthening defence ties: Sri Lanka Army Chief's key visit to India

India

Lieutenant General BKGM Lasantha Rodrigo, Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, is visiting India from June 11 to 14, 2025, to strengthen defense ties. He kicked off his trip by honoring fallen soldiers at the National War Memorial and received a ceremonial Guard of Honour—setting a tone of respect and friendship between the two countries.

Rodrigo to attend IMA's passing out parade

Rodrigo held high-level talks with top Indian military leaders to discuss closer cooperation and joint training. The highlight: he'll be reviewing the Indian Military Academy's Passing Out Parade in Dehradun on June 14—a meaningful return since he was commissioned there back in 1990. His visit underlines growing teamwork between the Indian and Sri Lankan armies.
