News

The Ministry of Foreign Relations noted the decision of the European Union (EU) to reopen its external borders on July 1 initially to a list of less than 15 countries that does not include Sri Lanka, a statement from the Ministry said.

“The Embassy of Sri Lanka accredited to European Union in Brussels which has been actively lobbying for Sri Lanka’s inclusion in the list was informed by the European Commission that it has not yet considered countries that have not opened airports nor accepted visitors from the EU region,” the statement said.

It said the Embassy was further informed that the list will be progressively expanded depending on the progress made in the epidemiological situation in countries, the ability to apply containment measures during travel and whether or not that country has lifted travel restrictions towards the EU countries.
