Sri Lanka's Army Chief, General Shavendra Silva after formal honours was ushered to pay floral tribute to the widely-reputed monument at Alexandrovsky Garden of Moscow Kremlin where the much-respected 'Tomb of the Unknown Soldier' stands.
During the Army Commander's stay in the Russian Federation, he is scheduled to visit the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School and meet with its Commandant, Major General Roman Binyukov, Division Commander of the 4th Guards Tank Division in Naro-Fominsk and the Commandant at Mikhailovskaya before he visits the Military Artillery Academy, Military Medical Academy and several other places of military and tourist importance.
In February 2020, during a formal visit to Sri Lanka, General of the Army, Oleg Salyukov extended an open invitation for this visit. However, the visit had to be indefinitely postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and General Shavendra Silva's commitment to its control as Head of the National Operation Centre for Prevention of COVID-19 Outbreak in Sri Lanka.
