The Ministry of External Affairs works in close coordination with Sri Lanka Embassies in Libya and Egypt, and Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) in order to ensure the safety, security and welfare of Sri Lankan expatriates in Libya. All arrangements have been put in place for the evacuation of Sri Lankans should a necessity arises.

The SLBFE has appointed a committee to coordinate the evacuation round the clock with the External Affairs Ministry.
