Sri Lanka calls for constructive dialogue to de-escalate tensions in West Asia
Sri Lanka has voiced deep concern over the recent violence in West Asia, particularly the attacks on important energy facilities that threaten regional stability and peace initiatives. This area is home to a large international expatriate community, including many Sri Lankans, whose safety is a top priority for the country, as stated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism. Sri Lanka emphasizes the need to protect civilians, essential infrastructure, and the security of global supply chains. The nation urges all involved parties to show maximum restraint and to participate in constructive discussions to reduce tensions, according to the statement. Additionally, Sri Lanka is dedicated to supporting all efforts to restore peace and safety in the region, creating a favorable atmosphere for international trade.
