The Indian High Commission denied media reports that they have asked for clearance from Sri Lanka, to use the Sri Lankan airspace for a joint Military Exercise with a third country.
“No such a request has been made by India, for using the Sri Lankan airspace in the recent past for the purpose of any joint exercise with a third country,” the High Commission said in a press statement.
It said “We have seen some media reports stating that authorities in Sri Lanka declined a request by India to use the Sri Lankan airspace for a Joint Military Exercise with a third country. High Commission of India would like to deny these reports as they are factually incorrect”.
