ECONMYNEXT – Asian Development Bank (ADB) President Masato Kanda stated that he will engage with the Sri Lankan government, private sector, and local communities upon his arrival in Colombo.
“I have arrived in Colombo at a critical moment as Sri Lanka transitions from crisis response toward recovery and sustainable growth,” Kanda said.
“This visit is an opportunity to engage with the government, private sector, and communities on the ground to better understand priorities for the next phase of development.”
ADB is supporting Sri Lanka’s transition by strengthening infrastructure and connectivity while mobilizing investment to enable private sector-led growth.
“I look forward to advancing these priorities together over the coming days.” (Colombo/Mar23/2026)
