Washington, DC: The United States Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee Alaina B. Teplitz as Ambassador to Sri Lanka.

Teplitz, a member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Minister-Counselor, has been confirmed by the Senate to be Ambassador to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, and to serve concurrently as Ambassador to the Republic of Maldives.

Teplitz currently serves as the Ambassador to Nepal. She has been posted to Bangladesh and Afghanistan previously, and also to the South and Central Asia Bureau.
