Mike Pompeo cancels visit to Sri Lanka


U.S. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo is unable to visit Sri Lanka as previously announced due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts during his upcoming visit to the Indo-Pacific region that includes accompanying President Donald J. Trump to the G20 Summit in Japan, US embassy in Colombo said   

The embassy statement added that Secretary Pompeo regrets that he is no longer able to visit Colombo at this time.  He hopes to travel to Sri Lanka at a later date to underscore our strong partnership with Sri Lanka, which is rooted in a commitment to democracy, economic growth and a free, open Indo-Pacific region.  
     
The United States remains committed to these objectives and looks forward to building on our longstanding partnership.
