U.S. envoy Julie Chung to leave Sri Lanka on January 16
U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung will depart Sri Lanka on January 16 after almost four years of dedicated service, marking the conclusion of her tenure as the United States’ top diplomat in Colombo, the U.S. Embassy in Colombo said.
“I have loved every moment of my time in Sri Lanka,” said Ambassador Chung. “From day one, my focus has been to advance America’s interests—strengthening our security partnerships, expanding trade and investment, and promoting education and democratic values that make both our nations stronger. Together, we’ve built a relationship that delivers results for the American people and supports a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific.” Ambassador Chung’s tenure, which began in February 2022, was marked by several milestones, including the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Sri Lanka in 2023, the return of U.S. Peace Corps volunteers in 2024, and the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program.
She also oversaw the Embassy’s move to its new LEED Gold–certified facility in October 2022, a landmark that reflects America’s commitment to a sustainable, secure, and enduring presence in Sri Lanka and underscores the U.S. focus on building a modern partnership for the future of the Indo-Pacific.
