Sri Lanka confident that US will attend its defence seminar

Sri Lanka’s army commander expressed confidence that the US would accept his invitation to participate in Sri Lanka’s annual defence seminar.

Speaking to press, Chrishanthe de Silva said Sri Lanka had extended an invitation to the US Ambassador Atul Keshup and was confident of a positive response, reports the island.lk.

The ‘Defence Seminars’ were first held in 2011 two years after the mass atrocities that took place at the end of Sri Lanka’s armed ethnic conflict in May 2009.

This year’s seminar is to cover a broad range of themes, including the topic of “non-military threats to national security.”
