U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Donald Lu, arrived in Colombo yesterday (13) from New Delhi.

Lu’s Sri Lanka visit is part of his tour of the region from May 10th to 15th, which included India and Bangladesh.

Issuing a statement, the US State Department stated last week that in his meetings, he will reaffirm the United States’ support for Sri Lanka’s economic recovery, as well as the importance of a robust civil society as a cornerstone of a free and democratic society.
