Anura Kumara Dissanayake has urged all parties involved in the ongoing Middle East conflict to commit to a swift and peaceful resolution, emphasizing the far-reaching consequences of the crisis on the global economy, including its impact on Sri Lanka.

Calling for restraint and dialogue, he underscored the importance of diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation and safeguard global economic recovery.
