Following his meeting with the CDS, Commander of the Army visited the Navy Headquarters to meet Navy Commander Vice Admiral Wasanth Karannagoda.
Both Commanders exchanged their views on various issues of importance to their services during this formal meeting. They also exchanged mementoes at the end of their first official meeting.
