U.S. Special Envoy visits Colombo Port

Visiting U.S. Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor visited the Colombo Port on Friday (20), underscoring the importance of the facility as a critical hub connecting South Asia to global markets.

During the visit, Gor observed port operations alongside the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) and highlighted the significance of maritime security in safeguarding international trade.

“Watching operations alongside the Sri Lanka Port Chairman at the Port of Colombo, it’s clear how this critical hub connects South Asia to global markets, and why maritime security here matters. That’s why the U.S.–Sri Lanka partnership is helping advance secure and transparent trade, support ongoing efforts to improve port efficiency, and protect the integrity of supply chains that have a direct impact on the bottom line for U.S. manufacturers and consumers,” Gor said in a statement on ‘X’.
