Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says the country firmly believes that no armed conflict creates a favourable situation for any community, and stressed that the destructive power of modern military and technological advancements highlights the urgent need for peace.

The President said that in a world where sophisticated and large‑scale weapons systems are continuously being developed, everyone can clearly understand how devastating such capabilities can be.

He emphasized that Sri Lanka’s position is for all parties involved in the ongoing conflict to make the necessary commitments and take the required steps as soon as possible toward creating a peaceful world.

According to him, the present situation could pose a serious threat and have a significant impact on the global economy as well as the survival of human life.

President Dissanayake noted that Sri Lanka does not have the ability to withstand such consequences alone or in isolation. He said that while the country is preparing a plan to face this situation, ultimately it can only be addressed through an international, collective commitment toward a peaceful world.
