Sri Lanka reiterated today that the study on the origin tracing of SARS-Co-V-2 should be based on scientific and evidence-based methods and should not be politicized, Foreign Ministry said.
“The next phase of the study should reflect the key findings of the previous WHO-led joint study report. Sri Lanka will continue to constructively engage with all international partners to find amicable and comprehensive solutions to unresolved issues in this regard,” a statement from the Ministry said.
Sri Lanka noted the leading role played by the World Health Organization (WHO) in this regard and the contents of the joint report of the WHO–convened Global Study released in March 2021.
It is equally important to conduct a comprehensive, inclusive, and impartial study on the origin of the virus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions to the health, safety, and livelihoods of people around the world. Therefore, multilateralism and international cooperation provide the best possible means to effectively and sustainably defeat the pandemic, the statement noted.
