As a nation that has undergone much suffering due to terrorism, Sri Lanka unreservedly condemns such acts of terror. The international community must unite to collectively combat the menace of terrorism and extremism.
The Government and people of Sri Lanka stand united with the Government and People of France during this time of grief.
