Sri Lanka Navy and Indian Navy will conduct a joint naval exercise
off Trincomalee from today to 24. The exercise code-named ‘SLINEX II’ is
aimed at enhancing interoperability of the two navies. It will pave the
way for both navies to rehearse the concept of joint naval operations
and enhance own skills to gain from each other’s experience.

The strong fleet from the Indian Navy will arrive in the Port of
