Dr. Ebrahim Raisi......a fearless leader....thank you for gifting this project to my motherland Sri Lanka. Jazakumullah khairan.
Sri Lanka being an independent country maintains a neutral stance. We have great respect towards both Iran and Israel just as we have towards our neighbors India and Pakistan. We have good relations with Russia, USA, Japan, and China. Those countries may have different issues with each other. But those issues have nothing to do with Sri Lanka.

Iran is a long time ally of Sri Lanka. In that case, there is no obstacle for our friends to come to our country. The internal problems of other countries are not relevant to us. Sri Lanka has no enemies because it is neutral with the countries of the world. India directly supports the American side in the Indo-Pacific power struggle to control Chinese power. But Sri Lanka's neutrality has thwarted India's aim to prevent a power imbalance in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka respects any country in the world. Sri Lanka is making great sacrifices to protect peace in the Indian Ocean, which connects three continents.
Welcome Iran ❤
