After the terrible terrorist attacks, which swept across the paradise island of Sri Lanka to the shock of the whole civilized world, the Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena and the people of Sri Lanka in an official telegram:

The Embassy of Sri Lanka in the Russian Federation is deeply saddened with the news of multiple bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday and strongly condemns these horrifying attacks.

Our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed in the explosions and wishes of speedy recoveries to the many others who were injured.

On 18 April 2019, Sri Lankan students were awarded for the best dancing performance at the annual Youth Festival "My Country," organized by the Moscow Automobile & Road Construction State University (MADI), Moscow. One of the most fascinating parts of the event was the traditional dancing number of the Sri Lankan students who study at MADI, which won the award for the best dancing performance. During the concert, Sri Lankan students also entertained the audience by singing a Sinhala song.
