Sri Lanka's president, Maithripala Sirisena, today urged states to remove their travel advisories against visiting the island.
Speaking at the presidential secretariat today, Sirisena said the security situation in the country had come back to normal.
A number of countries including the United States, India and United Kingdom issued advisories following the Easter Sunday suicide bombings by Islamist extremists, which killed over 250 people.
"Within the next few days the threat of terrorism would be completely wiped out," he said.
"Coupled with the decisions taken by the Government relating to the National Security the entire operation to thwart the clandestine activities of this terrorist outfit has proven successful."
