President Ranil Wickremesinghe published the “Defence Review – 2030” to reaffirm Sri Lanka’s commitment to defending its independence and territorial integrity.
The document, according to the President’s Media Division (PMD), charts the future direction of Sri Lanka’s defence strategy while outlining the changing security environment in the Indian Ocean region.
At the most recent Cabinet meeting, the President suggested the Defence Review – 2030.
Protecting Sri Lanka’s sovereignty, avoiding military alliances, avoiding confrontations in the Indian Ocean, battling non-state entities who were hostile to Sri Lanka, and promoting world peace have always been the main tenets of the island nation’s defence strategy. However, there has been a noticeable change in the security dynamics.
