President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has expressed his gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for standing with Sri Lanka yet again at a time of need.
The United States pledged US$ 2 million to assist urgent relief efforts in Sri Lanka, following the severe impact of Cyclone Ditwah, which caused heavy rains and flooding across many areas.
The U.S. also deployed two C-130J Super Hercules aircraft to support ongoing relief efforts.
President Dissanayake said the swift deployment of C-130 aircraft and US$ 2 million emergency assistance reflect the strength of the enduring partnership between the two countries, firmly rooted in shared democratic values and close ties between our people.
