President Maithripala Sirisena announced on Monday (27) that he will allow the emergency laws to lapse within a month as the security situation was "99 percent back to normal" following the Easter bombings.
Sirisena told Colombo-based diplomats from Australia, Canada, Japan, the US and European Union that security forces had been successful in arresting all those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe last Friday urged the diplomatic community based in Sri Lanka to take steps to lift the travel advisories imposed on Sri Lanka.
Wickremesinghe made the appeal while briefing diplomats on the security situation in the country following the Easter Sunday attacks.
