Three Indian Navy ships arrived in Colombo on Thursday, on a 4 day training visit aimed at increasing mutual cooperation between the two navies.
The ships, "INS Sujata", "INS Tarangini" and Coast Guard Ship "ICGS Varuna" were welcomed at the port by the Sri Lankan Navy.
A total of 272 Indian Navy personnel and 187 Coast Guard personnel will take part in the special programme organised by the Sri Lankan Navy.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
