The Sri Lankan government further stated its readiness to supply rice stocks should the Nepalese government require it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expressing his condolences, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his sympathies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of lives caused by the devastating floods in Nepal. I join the people of Sri Lanka in extending our heartfelt condolences to the people of Nepal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Minister of Foreign Affairs Vijitha
