A delegation from the Sri Lanka Navy is now in India to have a series of discussions with Indian Naval authorities regarding security and naval operations, Navy sources told the Daily News yesterday.

The three member delegation headed by Director General Operations Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekera left the country on Thursday. Commander Berugoda and Ratnayaka also joined Rear Admiral Weerasekera on this visit.

A Navy spokesman said the delegation will take up issues connected to security, Naval operations and the entry of fishermen to Sri Lankan territorial waters.
