The advertisement on the sale of non slip doormats with the print of Sri Lanka's national flag has been removed from the Amazon site after the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Beijing informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on the matter.
The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Beijing had informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and requested it to take action to stop the production of door mats and any such products, misusing the Sri Lanka flag.
The company which marketed the product on Amazon was requested by letter from the Embassy to immediately cease selling the door mats and any such products, misusing the Sri Lanka flag.
The Sri Lankan Embassy said it is closely monitoring this matter and will take appropriate action through the relevant authorities in China to stop the production and selling of any product with the image of Sri Lankan flag.
