COLOMBO, SRI LANKA (January 8, 2026) — In a notable diplomatic gesture, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Kavinda Jayawardana visited the United States Embassy in Colombo yesterday to deliver a formal message addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump.
The message serves as an official acknowledgment and expression of gratitude for the U.S. administration’s stance on global security and its efforts to combat religiously motivated extremism.
✉️ A Message of Gratitude and Support
MP Jayawardana arrived at the embassy on Wednesday, January 7, to hand over the communiqué. Speaking to the media following the meeting, he outlined the core themes of his message:
- Global Conflict Reduction: The MP thanked President Trump for his efforts in working toward minimizing warfare and military tensions across various global hotspots.
- Counter-Terrorism: A significant portion of the message was dedicated to applauding the U.S. government’s firm stance against terrorist groups that target civilians based on religious ideologies.
- Peaceful Coexistence: The message emphasized the importance of international cooperation in protecting innocent lives from radicalized violence.
🏛️ Positive Reception at the Embassy
Jayawardana noted that the embassy staff received the message with a “positive reception.”
“I officially handed over this message today to the U.S. Embassy. We appreciate the leadership shown in the fight against those who murder civilians in the name of religious extremism. The response from the embassy officials was very encouraging,” Jayawardana told reporters outside the embassy gates.
🌎 The Global Context
The move by the SJB Parliamentarian comes at a time when global security remains a primary concern for many South Asian nations. By reaching out to the U.S. President, Jayawardana appears to be aligning with international efforts to stabilize conflict zones and strengthen counter-terrorism frameworks that affect both the West and regional partners like Sri Lanka.
