The Administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Samantha Power arrived in Sri Lanka today on an official visit.
The US Embassy in Colombo earlier announced that Samantha Power will undertake a 2-day official visit to Sri Lanka.
The purpose of the two-day visit is to discuss problems related to the prevailing economic crisis and strengthen the development partnership between the United States and Sri Lanka.
During her visit, Samantha Power will engage in discussions with several government officials, including a meeting with President Ranil Wickremesinghe. She is expected to hold bilateral meetings as well.
The Administrator will meet with government officials, private sector representatives, as well as farmers, and other Sri Lankans most impacted by the complex emergency to discuss how their lives have been affected and how the United States can best support them as they rebuild and recover.
She will also meet with parliamentary leaders representing various parties to learn their views on how to address the economic and political crises in Sri Lanka.
Her visit comes soon after the US Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, informed that the US as a creditor country will participate in restructuring Sri Lanka’s debt. (NewsWire)
