"Now this event has been postponed until October 1," RIA Novosti quotes Sri Lanka's ambassador to Russia, Michalgalande Durage Lamawansa.
According to him, there is no certainty that the country will be open to tourists in early October.
He noted that Sri Lanka is working on the early opening of the borders.
Earlier, Migahaland Durage Lamawansa assessed the situation with the opening of borders.
According to him, it was scheduled for August 15, but the outbreak at the drug addicts' rehabilitation center "made it delay."
