US to redouble efforts to support SL: Envoy

The United State Ambassador Chulie Chung said yesterday it will redouble efforts to support Sri Lanka.

She expressed this commitment when she spoke at the US-Sri Lanka Business Council. She said that US and Sri Lanka can collaborate to ensure Sri Lanka gets back on a path to prosperity. 

“US-Sri Lanka bilateral trade already supports more than 180,000 workers supplying exports to the US and contribute to the Sri Lanka economy,” she said in a tweet. 

“The US will redouble efforts to support SL along this path through ongoing efforts like financing for SMEs, fertiliser and seeds for farmers, education exchange and training to strengthen public financial management, as well as support through IMF if agreement can be reached,” Chung added.
