NMSJ commends Government’s decisions regarding Iranian vessels

The National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) commends the steps taken by Sri Lanka to rescue and provide medical treatment to those injured on board the Iranian ship that was attacked in waters off Sri Lanka. We also appreciate the decision taken by the Government and President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to bring the sailors from another Iranian vessel, to Sri Lanka and to ensure their safety.

Through these actions, Sri Lanka has demonstrated a civilized and responsible diplomatic approach that places humanity first.

We also appreciate the position taken by the Government not to allow Sri Lanka’s territory, territorial waters, or airspace to be used in a manner that is biased towards or harmful to any party involved in an international conflict. Sri Lanka’s stance, rooted in its long-standing non-aligned policy, is consistent with the country’s history as well as its moral and political values.

At a time when global human society is under great stress, the NMSJ once again appreciates the steps taken by Sri Lanka. We also hope that the attention of the President and the Government will be drawn to the need to stand together with other countries in the region to realize Sri Lanka’s long-standing aspiration of making the Indian Ocean a Zone of Peace, as proposed by the late Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike.
