Sri Lanka says it cannot send its naval ships to Red sea

Sri Lankan President RanilWickremesinghe said the Sri Lankan navy did not have the capacity to send a ship by itself. The navy had told him that if they were to go, they would like to go with some cover.

However, Sri Lanka does not want any Israeli participation in this freedom of navigation operation. We will support whatever measures are taken by the Arab world to mitigate the problems in the Middle East.”

President RanilWickremesinghe was talking to the Arab ambassadors accredited to Colombo that with regard to Sri Lankan Navy deployment to the Red Sea

The Sri Lankan government’s decision to send a Navy ship to the Red Sea, where ships affiliated with Israel have come under attack by Yemen’s Houthi faction, has raised concerns in the island nation especially when they were facing a severe economic crisis.

Meanwhile the Container terminals at Sri Lanka’s Colombo Port have seen daily volumes surge as much as 80 percent, a top official said, as the Port stepped in as the transshipment hub for Middle Eastern destinations by-passed by vessels over Houthi attacks.
