The Japan Lanka Friendship Association, which has previously donated many equipment to Sri Lankan Organizations, had decided to donate said fire engine unit to SLAF, Sri Lanka Air Force Media reported.

A special cultural programme was held at AFHQ in appreciation of the donation, with the objective of making it a memorable event for the Japanese delegation.

The delegation included Dr Lal Thilakaratne, the President of the Japan Sri Lanka Friendship Association, and Japanese well-wishers of the association.
