Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa is expected to hold meetings with Sri Lankan air force officials, as well as visiting the army and navy headquarters.
"The visit of the Indian Air Chief would provide impetus towards increasing defense cooperation between the two Air Forces and pave the way for greater interaction in the future," the Sri Lankan ministry of defence said.
