Message of Condolence by H.E. the Ambassador

The attacks that took place in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday have come as a terrible shock to us and we are still coming to terms with it. I am at a loss for words at this sorrowful time, and I know there is little I can say to heal the pain felt by so many. My heart goes out to those who have been personally affected by this tragedy.

I would like to thank all those at home, Norway, Finland, Iceland and around the world who have offered their condolences and support. Your prayers and concern are much appreciated.

Sri Lanka emerged an united nation after 26 years of civil war, and we will do so once again.

Arusha Cooray

Ambassador
