U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Julie J. Chung, has met with the members of Sri Lanka’s Election Commission including its chairman, Mr. R. M. A. L. Rathnayake.
In a post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), the Ambassador said the meeting was held to discuss the plans to hold the upcoming elections in Sri Lanka and “upholding a transparent process”.
“As Sri Lanka, the U.S., and many countries face elections this year, we exchanged views on the importance of voting in free and fair elections as a pillar of democratic governance,” she said.
