Four Indian Navy ships will arrive in Trincomalee for a three-day visit, during which they will take part in training exercises and cultural events, the Indian High Commission in Colombo said.
The ships are part of the First Training Squadron, part of the Indian navy's Southern Naval Command.

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
