"The Sri Lankan government condemns the assassination of Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and condemns any terrorist act against humanity," the  Sri Lanka's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in its statement.

"Sri Lanka wants stability and security in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region," the statement adds, pointing to dialogue and interaction as the most successful way to resolve issues.
