57 African nations would back SL if Avant Garde trained their Navy: Nissanka Sendhipathi

24 Oct 2021

57 African nations under the United Nations would be backing Sri Lanka if their Navies were trained by the Avant Garde, claimed Chairman of Avant Garde Maritime Services, Nissanka Yapa Senadhipathi. He made this statement during a media brief held yesterday (23). "We had received permission to train the Nigerian Navy which had 225,000 officers. The allegations posed against the Avant Garde claiming we had an illegal Armory is false, as we had permission from the Government. If we trained the Nigerian Navy, today Sri Lanka would have the backing of 57 African Nations. What I wanted to do was to bring Sri Lanka to a standard where our armed forces would be recognised by the entire world," remarked Senadhipathi. Senadhipathi claimed that the allegations against Avant Garde Maritime Services were false, further stating that a case has now been filed against the parties that filed the false allegations. "They filed a fake case, but we filed a honest case, whereas the investigations could not be done due to the pandemic," said Senadhipathi
