1 mission of Sri Lanka in Rwanda: Consulate of Sri Lanka in Kigali, Rwanda. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Rohith Peiris, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Sri Lanka, 3 Dec 2024)
Sri Lanka is an appealing travel destination for some Rwandans, showcasing a rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. The island offers tropical beaches and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it attractive to international tourists, though it currently sees a modest number of foreign visitors.
Sri Lanka is generally safe for tourists, but it has a slightly higher crime risk compared to Rwanda. According to the Global Peace Index, Sri Lanka ranks 99th out of 160 countries, while Rwanda is ranked 90th. The murder rates are comparable, with Rwanda at 3.6 per 100,000 people and Sri Lanka at 3.5. In terms of organized crime, Rwanda scores better in several categories: it has lower indices for mafia groups (1.0 vs. 4.0), crime networks (3.0 vs. 5.0), and state crime (5.0 vs. 7.0). However, Sri Lanka has a lower score for foreign crime (2.5 vs. 4.0) and resource crime (3.0 vs. 8.0). Overall, while Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination, travelers should remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings.
