The United States embassy in Sri Lanka today rescinded the travel restrictions for Arugam Bay on October 23.

"U.S. Embassy Colombo has lifted travel restrictions issued on October 23, 2024, for Arugam Bay. The U.S. Embassy in Colombo encourages all U.S. citizens to review the Travel Advisory for Sri Lanka, maintain vigilance, be aware of your surroundings and report suspicious activity and emergencies to local authorities (119)," the Embassy said in a statement.

Last week it emerged that the travel advisory had been issued following the US Department of Justice charging an Iranian national of plotting to assassinate then- US Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who was also tasked with targeting Israeli tourists in Sri Lanka.

A foreign policy victory for the government. Unlike previous governments that turned similar issues into verbal confrontations, this government acted within reason.
