I am pleased to welcome you to our Official Website, which will provide you with all the news and relevant information about the UAE, its bilateral relations with Sri Lanka in various fields, and also news and information about the Embassy and its activities.
The leaderships of the United Arab Emirates and the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka give significant importance to the bilateral relations and its economic dimensions due to the longstanding historical background and strategic geographical locations of both countries in their respective regions. Public and private institutions, corporations and companies are actively engaged in strengthening the existing economic and trade links between the two countries. The UAE has emerged as the largest investor in Sri Lanka and also the second-largest trade partner with Sri Lanka, from among the Gulf States.
Sri Lanka is a long-trusted friend and close trading partner of the UAE, and has played an important role in the infrastructure development of UAE by providing skilled work force and manpower. The hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankan workers and housemaids also contribute to the progress and prosperity of the nation by means of providing much needed foreign exchange.
I am committed to uphold UAE’s policy of contributing towards consolidating security, stability and prosperity in world nations, and to further strengthening the friendly bilateral relations with UAE in various fields. The UAE and Sri Lanka have seen the exchange of high-level visits in recent years. I look forward to continuing and further deepening the cooperation between our two nations.
I am also keen in furthering friendly social and cultural ties between the people of United Arab Emirates and Sri Lanka, by encouraging visits and the participation in cultural events, exhibitions and conferences on key social issues that are of common interest.
This website aims to be the key gateway for the UAE with regard to the Embassy’s services, activities and projects. The website contains information on accessing consular services such as attestations, visas and passports. It also presents to you interesting information about the UAE, its people and culture. I warmly invite you to explore our website which will assist you with the required information and answer your queries on the United Arab Emirates.
I hope that this website will be useful to you, and if you may still need further information on the UAE, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for visiting the website.
