“Stop the war and commence peace talks promptly”: Sajith

Prevailing aggression and conflict in the Middle East is a significant threat to global peace and security, Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa stated.

Opposition Leader Premadasa also said the expansion of the conflict through attacks on Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and other middle eastern countries must be vehemently condemned.

In a post on X (formally Twitter), the Opposition Leader said the lives of over one million Sri Lankans working in the Middle East are of paramount importance and therefore the war must be avoided at all cost.

“Stop the war and commence peace talks and negotiations promptly,” he added.

Premadasa also urged the world leaders to give peace a chance.
