COLOMBO (Daily Mirror) - Foreign Affairs Minister M.U.M. Ali Sabry appreciated the constructive role played by Qatar in opening the Rafah border crossing, which allowed hundreds of foreigners, including 11 Sri Lankans, to enter Egypt from the Gaza Strip.

While issuing a media release, the Minister thanked the State of Qatar, under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, for its successful mediation efforts, paving the way for the release of many hostages.

During a meeting with Ali Hassan Alemadi, Charge d’Affaires of the Qatar Embassy in Colombo, the Foreign Minister conveyed Sri Lanka’s appreciation in this regard.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry was pleased to have coordinated with the relevant Sri Lanka Missions, Ministries, and agencies in facilitating the arrival of the 11 Sri Lankans in Colombo on November 5, 2023, the Sri Lanka Foreign Ministry said.
