The UAE Embassy in Colombo has published a new tweet revising its travel advisory to Sri Lanka, this time requesting tourists to exercise caution and stay away from public gatherings while touring the country.
Last week, the embassy on its Twitter handle, urged UAE nationals to avoid travelling to Sri Lanka "except in extreme and compulsory cases".
However, the previous tweet had been removed from the twitter handle following discussions between the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry and the Embassy on October 22.
"Secretary Foreign Affairs Ravinatha Aryasinha has discussed with the UAE Embassy about this matter at a meeting held on Tuesday at the ministry and therafter the travel advisory has been removed," Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ruwanthi Delpitiya told Times Online.
