The purpose of this engagement was to provide member companies of US origin, or those representing US brands in Sri Lanka, an opportunity to present a brief introduction of their organizations and discuss any specific matters that challenge or impact their business continuity, which may benefit from the intervention or support of the US Department of State and its agencies, such as the Foreign Commercial Service or the Development Finance Corporation.

AmCham Sri Lanka President Mr. Lakshan Madurasinghe, delivering the welcome address, spoke about the multiple challenges for businesses over the past months, such as disruptions to supply chain, issues related to royalty and licensing agreements, forex restrictions, etc.
