US ambassador Julie Chung held discussions with the officials of a US-based leading global aerospace company, Boeing, on the ‘potential areas for collaboration with Sri Lanka’s private sector.’
“Partnerships with U.S. and other international companies will be key to Sri Lanka’s economic recovery and modernization. Today, I met with senior representatives of Boeing, a US-based company, to discuss potential areas for collaboration with Sri Lanka’s private sector,” the ambassador tweeted.
According to the company, as a leading global aerospace company, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries.

This ambassador is trying hard to ruin the reputation of Boeing co., They'll never consider a country with a shady financial records with bad work ethics as a business partner.

If this happens it will represent a giant leap for Sri Lankan economy and Sri Lankan Science. But both Sri Lanka and America have to guard against definite Indian attempts that would be made to thwart the plan.

Focus on yourself don't always think what others think (in this case India).

This may collapse if our politicians resort to established illegal practices - asking for commissions

Ambassador, don't give as false hope. There is no investment as long as there are political and economical risks. The politicians who have taken the country on a slippery road are still very active in the background and show no signs of giving up and going away but waiting for a political ambush.

This will be a very good opportunity for sri lanka. Also good if they can locate at Mattala airport so they can use that airport for service and maintenance as well.....

Looks like Julie Chung is been having too close associations with SL politicians. She is having the same uttering nonsense syndrome. She's talking another VW factory.
Allan chapman Monday, 13 February 2023 11:53 AM
Mattala airport could be converted into a aircraft maintenance centre. Since it has its own runway for test flights. The proximity to Hambantota port is good since spare parts could be brought in by sea.

@Allan, First get spare-parts acquired for your brain.

Hope it will materialise, it will be good boost for business sentiment. Investment is what sl needs in the long term not loans loans and loans.

Now she will be a friend of pohotuwa fellows and Wimal who blamed her for supporting Aragalaya.
Sanity Now Monday, 13 February 2023 06:22 PM
Minor issue, we don't have skilled aircraft technicians. Those present in SL are in tge air force or soon to be bankrupt Srilankan Airlines. Even then insufficient for something like Boeing. Training takes 5 years. We cannot train Pali scholars and Buddhist monks as aircraft technicians.

Living in America and working at Boeing in California I feel extremely happy if this project could be put through. There are many Tamils and Sinhalese working at various Boeing research and production lines in the States, so why can’t our country benefit directly from this already established connection. Both the Tamils in the North and the Sinhalese in the South must be able to benefit from this in equal measure. As suggested by an earlier comment Indian “ jealous reaction” can’t be ruled out but with American support Sri Lanka is well protected to withstand and defend against any Indian action.

Will you think Boeing will invest if the red wing elected ?
Ceylonese Tuesday, 14 February 2023 11:05 AM
Without insulting India we should be thanking the Quad which includes India USA Japan and Australia for coming forward to help the poor countries in Asia including Sri Lanka from Chinese influence. with free Covid vaccines etc This investment project with Boeing is part of the proposal.
Curious Citizen Tuesday, 14 February 2023 11:36 AM
JULIE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AWARE OF THE POLITICAL INSTABILITY THAT IS PREVAILING NOW IN SRI LANKA! WHAT IS THE US STAND ON HOLDING/ NOT HOLDING THE LG ELECTIONS?
