    Solution

    India recently handed over a Dornier aircraft “Dornier 228 Maritime aircraft” to Sri Lanka. The Indian gift was in response to a request from the Sri Lankan government in 2018 for two Dornier Reconnaissance Aircraft to enhance the maritime surveillance capabilities of the island nation. Sri Lanka is a member of the ‘Colombo Security Conclave’, which began as a trilateral initiative involving India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and later included Mauritius, for maritime cooperation in the region.
