Matt Salmon: “Dialogue doesn't get it done.”

I have long championed enhancing our engagement with the Asia-Pacific and our friends and our allies in the region.

We are optimistic that the Sirisena-led government is committed to change and have already begun implementing important reforms.

I wish for a speedy recovery for the Sri Lankan people and hope our newly invigorated development relationship that we're going to discuss today can help meet some of the challenges left in the wake of the storm.

I can't even contemplate why on God's green earth we even thought for a nanosecond about the F-16 sale.
