"Have no security fears we assure the safety and security for the visit," she added.
Sri Lanka will play a T20 International (the third and final T20I) in Lahore on October 29 at the end of their current series with Pakistan being played in UAE.
Sri Lanka Cricket decided to go ahead with the visit to Lahore despite security concerns raised by some 40 contracted players on going there.
Sri Lanka's team bus came under a terrorist attack near the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in March 2009, causing injuries to several players. Seven people -- including six Pakistani policemen -- were killed in that attack.
