Sri Lankan High Commissioner in Singapore, Ajit Jayaratne expressed his gratitude to the government of Singapore and all Singaporeans for supporting Sri Lanka's tsunami victims.

"The Sri Lankan High Commission in Singapore has dispatched 23 container loads of valuable supplies. A further 27 containers have been sent by Buddhist, Christian, Hindu and other religious groups and organisations, as well as many individuals," he said in an open letter to Singaporeans.

"This effort continues, with even Singapore bands and the music community at large organising concerts next month and in March to raise funds for Sri Lanka's relief and reconstruction programmes," he said expressing his gratitude for their exceptional gesture of friendship.

Jayaratne further said in his letter that the people of Singapore can help us in our renewal efforts by visiting Sri Lanka, which will also provide the opportunity to see for themselves how their assistance and support have been of immense value in our crisis.
