Sri Lanka calls for calm and diplomacy amid tensions on Cambodia-Thailand border

Date:

July 27, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka has voiced serious concern over the unfolding situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border, where recent unrest has reportedly resulted in casualties, the displacement of civilians, and damage to sites of cultural and historical significance.

In a formal statement issued by the Ministry responsible for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment, and Tourism, the Sri Lankan government called on both nations to exercise restraint and resolve their differences through diplomatic engagement.

Emphasising its long-standing commitment to peace and non-violence, Sri Lanka urged all parties to prioritise dialogue over confrontation.

Reflecting the country’s spiritual heritage, the statement underscored Sri Lanka’s adherence to principles rooted in the teachings of the Buddha—particularly those of compassion, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence.

These values, the government stressed, should guide efforts to de-escalate the situation and pave the way for a negotiated settlement.

The statement also conveyed heartfelt sympathies to the communities affected by the recent violence and upheaval. Sri Lanka reaffirmed its conviction that enduring peace in the region can only be achieved through mutual understanding, respect for sovereignty, and a shared commitment to diplomacy.
