Issuing a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that, in view of the significant number of Sri Lankans employed in the region, necessary measures to ensure their safety and security are already being taken through the respective Sri Lanka Missions in those countries.
Necessary instructions to ensure the safety of Sri Lankans will also be provided regularly by the Sri Lanka Missions, it said.
In this context, Sri Lankans living in the Middle East region are requested to pay special attention to these instructions, and act accordingly, the statement added.
