In the first leg of his two-nation tour, Gen Dwivedi is visiting the UAE to hold wide-ranging talks with the top military brass of the influential Gulf nation. He will also visit key military establishments including the UAE National Defence College and interact with officers and troops.
“These engagements are aimed at further enhancing bilateral defence cooperation, professional military exchanges and strategic understanding between the two armed forces,” the Army said. It said Gen Dwivedi’s January 5-6 visit to the Gulf nation underscores a shared commitment to deepen mutual understanding and enhance cooperation in areas of common interest.
From the UAE, Gen Dwivedi will travel to Sri Lanka for a two-day visit from January 7 to 8. In Colombo, he will hold talks with senior political and military brass, including the defence secretary and the commander of the Sri Lanka Army. The discussions will be on matters of mutual interest, including training cooperation, capacity building and regional security, the Army said.
