07 May 2020

 Process to commence within 10 days The Government is soon to commence the process of repatriating Sri Lankan expat workers in the face of the Covid- 19 global outbreak. Minister of Foreign Affairs Dinesh Gunawardena told The Morning that the Government would repatriate those who had shown interest in returning to the country. “There are a certain number who have lost work as a result of closures; some are temporary closures and some are terminations. So we’ll follow up by bringing them back,” he said. The countries from which Lankan employees would be repatriated include the Maldives, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Kuwait. The Minister said there were between 500-1,000 Sri Lankans in most counties, except for Bangladesh. “In Bangladesh, there are over 1,000 Sri Lankans,” the Minister said. He said that whoever was unregistered would have to be given passports. “The Controller of Immigration has agreed to issue passports according to the law, so this might take a few days, but the process would start,” the Minister said, adding that the Government would also look to bring back those who had travelled abroad for medical purposes. The Government will commence the process within the next 10 days, the Minister said. By Skandha Gunasekara
