Lanka to train more foreign troops
The Government is to provide more training opportunities for foreign Army officers at the Defense Services Command and Staff College.
This will be both on payment and free of charge, in terms of a decision reached by the Cabinet, following a recommendation by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is also the Minister of Defense.
Free training opportunities are to be provided next year for officers from Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Singapore, Sudan, Vietnam and Turkey.
Countries that pay to have their officers trained include Indonesia, the Maldives and Oman. The Defense Services Command and Staff College is the highest military training institution in Sri Lanka. It provides training to middle level officers of the tri-services and the Police in Sri Lanka.
