A spokesman for the Israeli Consulate in New York said the Sri Lankan ambassador to the United States, Devinda Subasinghe, contacted Daniel Ayalon, Israel?s U.S. ambassador, to deny that his country refused Israeli help.
Sri Lanka and Israel have ?close diplomatic relations,? according to a statement by the Sri Lanka Embassy in Washington. The Sri Lanka Embassy in Tel Aviv has been functioning since October 2000; Israel?s embassy in New Delhi, India, is also accredited to Sri Lanka.
Subasinghe noted that representatives of his country and Israel attended a ceremony at a synagogue in Washington Saturday night as a ?display of solidarity between the two embassies in light of the misinformation that was spread.?
An Israeli Consulate spokesman said Sri Lankan officials on Wednesday were expected to reiterate that their country had never turned down Israeli aid and offer their gratitude to Israel as well as Americans who have made donations to the relief effort.
