Army Commander Lt. General Jagath Jayasuriya says the Sri Lanka Army is ready to share its experience in defeating the LTTE with SAARC countries.

Lt. Gen. Jayasuriya, the senior officer in charge of all fighting formations deployed in the Vanni during the largest ever combined security forces campaign, says army headquarters had recently received Defence Ministry approval to invite military contingents from the SAARC region.

Addressing the officers and men after declaring open a monument at Minneriya in memory of those who had paid the supreme sacrifice in the battle against terrorism, the Armoured Corps veteran said that other countries too would be given an opportunity to learn from Sri Lanka’s experience.
