Much obliged to you Mr. Pastor for the warm and thoughtful welcome, furthermore for the exceptionally beneficial meeting that we've had today. This visit and this meeting expands on a colossal direction of organization between our two nations and counted a portion of the key touch purposes of that relationship, including a year ago's visit by Secretary Kerry, Ambassador Samantha Power, and the Partnership Dialog we initiated in February this year.

Sri Lanka itself has been on a wonderful direction of tending to not just the inside issues that have tested it, additionally captivating with the more extensive worldwide group in a soul of association and exchange. The United States has respected an extending of ties between our two nations. The United States and Sri Lanka offer shared objectives as kindred majority rule governments, which are both attempting to advance and ensure human rights and basic opportunities. We are accomplices, and today our relations are at an unsurpassed high.

We have been glad to band together with Sri Lanka in the course of recent years, amid which advancement and philanthropic help has enhanced incalculable lives, jobs, and living conditions the whole way across Sri Lanka. We will keep on making significant interests in different divisions - farming, undertaking improvement, instruction, medicinal services, vitality and regular assets, and philanthropic exercises. As the Government of Sri Lanka advances with its arrangements for protected change, for equity and compromise, the United States will keep on partnering with the legislature to cultivate financial improvement and energize outside venture, to work to propel open doors for all Sri Lankans.

We keep on supporting the Government of Sri Lanka as it steps because of worries of its kin identified with equitable administration and propelling admiration for human rights, for compromise, for equity and responsibility. We can imagine a future which conveys advantages to both nations, and to peace and flourishing and security over the Indian Ocean as Sri Lanka accept a more prominent part as a key accomplice in this locale. As Sri Lanka expect its incredible potential as a center point and a door to interface with a rising monetary social orders of South and Southeast Asia.

Much work remains, however the United States is focused on cooperating with the Sri Lankan individuals to address difficulties and help this nation and its kin to understand their actual potential.

Aide Secretary Tom Malinowski said,

Clergyman (Samaraweera), I need to thank you for all the work you have accomplished for our relationship, which is superior to anything it has ever been some time recently. I need to say exactly the amount we regard and welcome the work you have done to reestablish and fortify Sri Lanka's global position. Sri Lanka's political accomplishment in the most recent 18 months has happened in great measure in view of your trustworthiness and in light of the weight that your assertion conveys in the worldwide group. That is an exceptionally substantial advantage to this nation.

In the most recent couple of months, and specifically the most recent a few weeks, we have seen Sri Lanka step forward in its change, democratization, and compromise plan: the bill to build up an Office of Missing Persons, sanctioning the tradition on vanishings, extra land discharges by the military, the President's vital mandate on captures under the PTA, progress in work on the constitution. A considerable measure of this work was foreshadowed in a year ago's Human Rights Council determination. That determination encapsulated duties the Sri Lanka individuals have made in their own particular national interests to reestablish responsibility and the guideline of law to their nation. The United States was a co-patron of that determination, and accordingly we feel we have a common obligation to see this procedure through. So we anticipate supporting Sri Lanka as it establishes the remaining organizations and changes that the determination embraced. We emphatically praise the administration for working intimately with United Nations and High Commissioner Zeid to propel that advancement.

I additionally need to firmly second my associate Assistant Secretary Biswal's remarks on financial advancement and on the open door and obligation we have as an accomplice of Sri Lanka to help the general population of this nation accomplish the peace profit that they so merit. I need to stretch that in our psyches these two destinations - monetary improvement and compromise - go as an inseparable unit. Without a peace profit, it will be harder to seek after compromise.

Yet, compromise is additionally best in class, as we have found in a great many countrys on the planet, where individuals can meet up as opposed to give themselves a chance to be part separated. In a bigger sense, this reminds us why what is going on in Sri Lanka is so vital to individuals everywhere throughout the world, on the grounds that on the off chance that you take a gander at what's going on the planet today, there's clearly not a considerable measure of uplifting news to be found. A ton of the issues that we see are established in something that Sri Lanka knows great - this challenge between the governmental issues of division and the legislative issues of shared view. We've seen, lamentably, in numerous spots far and wide that it is less demanding to win in legislative issues by making straightforward speaks to racial, religious, or national pride, than by doing the diligent work of overseeing. Less demanding here and there to point the finger at others for our issues than to assume liability ourselves. In that way you can divert individuals from your own particular disappointments and absence of vision.

I think the general population Sri Lanka have demonstrated us over and over, that in any case where they originate from, or what dialect they talk, or what confidence they have a place with, everybody has the same major interests. Everyone has an enthusiasm for peace, everybody has an enthusiasm for lawfulness, in responsibility, in advancing this nation. The general population of Sri Lanka picked a legislature that tries to serve every one of its kin as opposed to setting them against each other. Therefore, the entire world needs Sri Lanka to succeed and to show others the way. We are glad to be your accomplice in that exertion.

Much thanks.
