“Today, Sir John Kotelawala Defence University has gained great fame at home and abroad. Your potential as a defence university has been proved,” President Ranil Wickremesinghe said on Thursday, while addressing the university’s colours ceremony.
“This university holds significant importance. If an army is led, that army depends on its leadership, and that army needs discipline. An army cannot advance without discipline. An army can advance only with discipline,” the President said.
President Wickremesinghe said in the future war may occur not only on land and in air and sea but also in cyberspace. He said our military should therefore be equipped with the necessary knowledge to face such technological warfare.
Pointing out that discipline, training and knowledge are needed to create a successful military, the President said the university was fulfilling these requirements.
A military salute was accorded to the President who arrived at the Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) and an interfaith blessing was also held for the President’s colours and the university’s flags.
Thereafter, President Wickremesinghe made a speech and presented the Presidential colours and university colours to KDU.
Later on, KDU Vice Chancellor Milinda Peiris made a speech and presented the university flag and colours.
The President also visited the Sir John Kotelawala Museum and made a note in the commemorative book for special guests.A special commemorative gift was also given to the President.
