In talks with India on two Dornier aircraft: Sri Lanka FM
New Delhi and Colombo are discussing a proposal for the supply of two Dornier aircraft for the Sri Lankan military.
In an interview to The Indian Express, Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister G L Peiris, who met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit K Doval in New Delhi, said: “There is a proposal for the purchase of two Dornier aircraft. There is no finality, nothing has been agreed upon. There are proposals and counter proposals, and it is one of the matters under discussion.”
He said one of the matters discussed during his visit was the upcoming UN Human Rights Council session, where Sri Lanka has been repeatedly hauled up for falling back on its 2015 commitments to address rights violations towards post-war national reconciliation.
