US Ambassador Julie Chung met with newly appointed Governor Nagalingam Vedanayagam last week in Jaffna to discuss potential collaborative efforts between the United States and Sri Lanka.
In a post on ‘X’, Ambassador Chung highlighted several areas for potential cooperation, including economic opportunities, infrastructure improvements, and agricultural development.
During her visit, she also toured the American Corner in Jaffna, where she interacted with young Sri Lankans involved in the English Access Microscholarship Programme. “There’s nothing like the energy and enthusiasm of young people eager to learn — especially when they’re having fun,” she remarked.
Ambassador Chung also held a meeting with Bishop Gnanapragasam to discuss Sri Lanka’s progress in justice and reconciliation efforts.
