U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung paid a farewell call on President Anura Kumara Dissanayake ahead of her departure from the country on 16 January, marking the conclusion of her tenure as the United States’ top diplomat in Colombo from 2022 to 2026.

During the meeting, President Dissanayake expressed his deep appreciation for Ambassador Chung’s indefatigable efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between Sri Lanka and the United States throughout her term of office. He also conveyed special thanks for her swift coordination of assistance by U.S. authorities in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, as well as for her support during Sri Lanka’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.

Ambassador Chung, who assumed office in February 2022, oversaw several significant milestones in U.S.–Sri Lanka relations, including the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
