The American Chamber of Commerce in Colombo has said it is keen to boost investment and trade in Sri Lanka.
"The US has expressed its desire to increase more FDI (foreign direct investment) flows to Sri Lanka and also see an increase in Sri Lankan exports to the US," Vijaya Ratnayake, president of AMCHAM Sri Lanka said, according to LBO.
The AMCHAM is planning to hold a trade show in Colombo on September 16 to promote trade and investment between the two countries.
"This event provides an excellent opportunity for those who are interested in doing business with USA whether it is imports, exports, tourism, education or investment to obtain information and find partners," he said.
The US embassy said the trade show is to encourage and strengthen economic ties between the US and Sri Lanka.
"The trade show will attract investors who will see Sri Lanka as a serious opportunity for investment," William Weinstein, Charge d' Affairs of the US embassy said.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
