Sri Lanka's army Wednesday announced plans to share with other countries its success in crushing ethnic Tamil Tiger rebels and ending the island's 37-year-old separatist war. Army chief Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya said they were inviting heads of military and defence establishments in 54 countries to a three-day forum starting in Colombo from May 31.
"After the war ended many countries have requested us to share some of our strategies with them," Jayasuriya told reporters in Colombo. "They want us to share our experience and expertise with them." Many field commanders will make presentation at the forum titled "defeating terrorism - the Sri Lankan experience," Jayasuriya said. "The objective is to tell the whole story to the world. We have nothing to hide," he said.
