Always love welcoming Sri Lankan friends to DC! Nice to catch up with Sandun & Saneth, heads of Mastercard & Citibank in SL, respectively. And so appreciate the Lankan treats they brought me!

It was a pleasure to meet with the @AmChamLK Board for a farewell coffee and reflect on the strong partnership we’ve built together. I’m grateful for AmCham’s
leadership in advancing U.S.-Sri Lanka commercial ties & promoting a transparent, welcoming business environment. Wishing the Board continued success in the work ahead.

Proud to join today’s handover as the American Chamber of Commerce donated 500K+ LKR worth of medicines to the @SLRedCross —support to be distributed to people affected by Cyclone Ditwah at 5 displacement sites. Grateful to @AmChamLK for stepping up quickly, powered by their private-sector outreach & contributions.

[Ministry of Economic Development,Transport & Trade @MoEDmv]

The American Chamber of Commerce in Maldives and US Embassy officials met with Minister @em_saeed to discuss expanding bilateral trade and AmCham’s role in fostering stronger economic partnerships between the two nations.

[U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka @USAmbSL]

Last week at @AmChamLK’s AGM, I stressed the importance of fostering a business climate that welcomes U.S. exports & helps companies thrive. President @AnuraDisanayake can look to our U.S. companies to set the tone with honest, accountable business practices. Congrats to Sandun Hapugoda on your new role as Amcham President & thank you Shirendra Lawrence for two years of AmCham leadership – your efforts are vital to strengthening U.S.–Sri Lanka trade, investment, & economic ties. 🇺🇸🤝🇱🇰.

Proud to launch the second edition of @AmChamLK mentorship and internship program to harness the leadership and ideas of American companies. This program not only strengthens U.S. businesses but also provides Sri Lankan talent with valuable opportunities for growth, innovation, and global career development.
