Visiting U.S. Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor joined Sri Lanka Navy Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Damian Fernando aboard SLNS Gajabahu, a former U.S. Coast Guard cutter now in service with the Sri Lanka Navy.
According to the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, the event symbolises the strength of the longstanding maritime partnership between the two nations.
The fourth former U.S. Coast Guard cutter, ex-Decisive, is currently undertaking its Pacific journey to Sri Lanka.
Once commissioned, it will further expand bilateral maritime security cooperation and enhance regional collaboration.
This development underscores the continuing commitment of both countries to safeguard sea lanes and strengthen naval ties in the Indo-Pacific. (Newswire)
