Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Qi Zhenhong met with US Ambassador Julie Chung at the Chinese Embassy today.
The Chinese Embassy said the two ambassadors had a friendly discussion on broad topics of mutual interest.
"China and the United States could work together to help Sri Lanka overcome current difficulties," the Chinese Embassy tweeted a short while ago.
A recent United Nations report said nearly 5.7 million people in Sri Lanka are in need of humanitarian aid due to the current crisis in the country.
