Sri Lanka will be observing a national day of mourning today (21) in view of the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
Accordingly, the Sri Lankan flag will fly at half-mast at all state institutions today, the Ministry of Public Administration said.
Mr Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in a mountainous area of north-western Iran, along with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several others.
The late Iranian President was in Sri Lanka in late April for an official visit where he also declared open the Uma Oya Multi-Purpose Development Project.
