At the request of the Sri Lankan Government, U.S. experts are already working closely with their Sri Lankan partners on fulfilling short term, specific objectives related to the recent attacks and to bringing the perpetrators to justice, the US embassy in Colombo said in a statement.
However, the U.S. cooperation to enhance safety in Sri Lanka does not indicate a larger, long term presence of US security teams in the country.
"The United States Government continues to assist Sri Lankan authorities in the aftermath of the horrific attacks that occurred in the country on Easter Sunday. At the request of the Sri Lankan Government, U.S. experts are already working closely with their Sri Lankan partners on fulfilling short term, specific objectives related to the recent attacks and to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
This cooperation does not indicate a larger, long term presence of US security teams in the country," the embassy said.
