India and Sri Lanka have recently signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on defence cooperation, marking a significant step in strengthening their bilateral ties, particularly in the defence sector. This agreement comes after nearly four decades of strained relations following India’s intervention during Sri Lanka’s civil war in the late 1980s. Below are the key highlights of this development: Institutionalised Defence Cooperation: The MoU provides a structured framework for existing military engagements, including joint exercises, maritime surveillance, capacity building, and humanitarian assistance operations. Defence Industry Collaboration: It opens avenues for collaboration in the defence industrial sector, such as equipment support and training for Sri Lankan officers at Indian institutions.
