In its statement, the alliance condemned the attacks and highlighted the joint stance of all religions in rejecting these acts of violence and terrorism.

The alliance also expressed its solidarity with the government and the people of Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the attacks, and called on the international community and religious and civil society organisations to cooperate in countering terrorism, which threatens international security and stability.
