The Commander of US Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) is in Sri Lanka and will meet with senior Sri Lankan government and defense leaders, including leadership from the Ministry of Defense and the Sri Lanka Air Force, the US embassy in Colombo said.
“Discussions will focus on expanded cooperation across air and maritime domain awareness, cybersecurity, disaster response, and regional security.”
General Kevin Schneider oversees all US Air Force personnel and assets.
The three-day visit “reflects the growing strength of the U.S.-Sri Lanka defense partnership” the embassy said.
His visit is the “latest milestone in an expanding bilateral relationship built on joint exercises, military exchanges, and consistent senior-level dialogue. The United States recognizes Sri Lanka as an essential partner in the collective effort to preserve peace, security, and prosperity across the region.”
