Answering queries posed by journalists on a case filed in the Indian Supreme Court the Director of the Media Centre Briadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya said that, “India and Sri Lanka have maintained good bilateral relations and that militaries of both nations also have maintained constant relations in many related fields including training, field exercises etc…” “Even during the humanitarian operations similar engagements continued”.

He expressed these sentiments during the weekly press briefing held at the Media Centre yesterday (17th April) where a large number of media personnel were present.

However, he declined to answer the question whether Indian troops actually participated in any operationally related activities citing ongoing judicial processes in India.
