The Foreign Office has relaxed its travel advice for Sri Lanka and no longer advises against all but essential travel to the destination.

It comes after the FCDO strengthened its travel advisory to the destination last month due to "ongoing political and economic instability".

It followed several weeks of unrest in the country, which led to prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa resigning following a mass cabinet resignation. Several people died in clashes, and hundreds were reported to have been injured.
