Last week, the embassy on its Twitter handle, urged UAE nationals to avoid travelling to Sri Lanka "except in extreme and compulsory cases".

"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.
