The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issuing a press statement today condemned the September 14 Saudi oil field attacks. "Sri Lanka condemns the drone attacks targeting Abqaiq oil processing facility and Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia." the Foreign Ministry said. "As a country that has suffered from terrorism for thirty years, Sri Lanka remains committed to addressing this scourge in all its forms and manifestations." "Stability in the Middle East is pivotal for the global economy and Sri Lanka hopes that the parties concerned would soon resolve their issues through peaceful negotiations and dialogue." the Foreign Ministry stressed. A statement from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, issued jointly with his German and French counterparts, pointed the finger at the Islamic Republic of Iran for the September 14 Saudi oil field attacks, arguing “there is no other plausible explanation.” However Iran has vehemently denied such accusations.
