The attention of the Ministry is drawn to several news articles in the media related to an employee of the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau who was attached to the Sri Lanka Embassy in Oman.

It is noted that the articles grossly mislead the public by referring to the officer allegedly involved in the incident as an Omani official.

In view of the excellent close and cordial bilateral relations between Sri lanka  and the Sultanate of Oman, the Ministry requests the media to correct their inaccurate references  and correction to be published with equal degree of prominence.
