The purpose behind such a visit must be seen the role the Indian army and intelligence service played during the civil war where they supported the Tamil Tigers and after the end of the war India took the stand not to sell any military equipment or technology. This is clearly a move to counter China but China has delivered, India has not. China is more than willing to sell weapons to the Sri Lankan military and developing it's infrastructure. China's relationship with Sri Lanka as complex as it maybe is not based on the subject of an "area of influence' while India will not budge on this position as she continues to treat Sri Lanka as an insignificant nation under her area of influence. I sincerely hope that a Chinese military contingency visits Colombo after the Indian military force leaves.

With no offense to the Indian Commander, how can a foreigner Commission Officers on behalf of HE the President? Only the President is empowered to Commission Officers. The President could delegate the ceremonial aspect of handing over the swords to a Government official on his behalf. A foreigner is not empowered to do it. It has no value. Someone does not know his Job!!!!
