Palestine–Sri Lanka relations refer to the bilateral relations between the State of Palestine and Sri Lanka. Historically, relations between the two countries have been very friendly. Relations between Palestine and Sri Lanka started in 1975, when the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) opened up an embassy in Colombo. After the Palestinian Declaration of Independence on 15 November 1988, Sri Lanka and the Maldives were among the first few countries in the world to recognize the State of Palestine.[1][2]
Sri Lanka currently supports a two-state solution to the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and recognizes both the State of Palestine and Israel.[3] Sri Lanka has voted in support of Palestine in almost every resolution brought to the UN.[4]
