原标题：斯里兰卡外交部公开发表声明，反对新冠病毒溯源政治化
据中国驻斯里兰卡使馆微信公众号消息，9月8日，斯里兰卡外交部就新冠病毒溯源问题发表声明，明确反对将溯源问题政治化。此前，斯里兰卡议长阿贝瓦德纳在与中国全国人大常委会栗战书委员长视频会晤时，代表斯议会重申了斯方在新冠病毒溯源问题上的坚定立场。斯里兰卡常驻日内瓦代表昌德拉普雷马大使也于今年7月专门致信世卫组织总干事谭德塞，要求在推进全球溯源过程中坚决尊重科学和事实，拒绝政治化。
斯里兰卡外交部在声明中表示，新冠肺炎大流行严重影响了世界各国人民的健康、安全和生计。多边主义和国际合作是有效、持续战胜疫情的最佳出路。对病毒的起源进行全面、包容、客观的研究亦同等重要。斯里兰卡注意到世界卫生组织在这方面发挥着领导作用，我们也注意到了世卫组织今年3月发布的联合研究报告相关内容。
斯里兰卡重申，新冠病毒溯源研究应符合科学、基于事实，而不应被政治化。下阶段的研究应充分反映此前世卫组织牵头研究已得出的关键结论。斯里兰卡将继续与国际社会开展建设性合作，就新冠病毒有关问题寻找公允、全面的解决办法。
声明英文原文：
Statement on the issue of tracing the Origins of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions to the health, safety, and livelihoods of people around the world. Therefore, multilateralism and international cooperation provide the best possible means to effectively and sustainably defeat the pandemic.
It is equally important to conduct a comprehensive, inclusive, and impartial study on the origin of the virus.
Sri Lanka notes the leading role played by the World Health Organization(WHO) in this regard and the contents of the joint report of the WHO–convened Global Study released in March 2021.
Sri Lanka reiterates that the study on the origin tracing of SARS-Co-V-2 should be based on scientific and evidence-based methods and should not be politicized. The next phase of the study should reflect the key findings of the previous WHO-led joint study report.
Sri Lanka will continue to constructively engage with all international partners to find amicable and comprehensive solutions to unresolved issues in this regard.
