This isn't something too new you know. Sri Lanka and Pakistan have been exchanging students for alot of years, in Staff College, ASL Murree, AST, and other army educational institutions.

Not only Sri Lanka, but alot of other countries like the central Asian states, Nepal, China, Arabs, and a few former Soviet states.

One guy from Uzbekistan (I think) about 5 or so years back was so giddy about his visit to Pakistan that in the weekends during the course, he hired a taxi for the whole weekend and visited the whole city and it's surroundings and bought loads of stuff!!!
