Many Sri Lankan expatriates in Switzerland have recently got together to collect and send a consignment of Swiss chocolates to Sri Lankan soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment (based in Mullaittivu) fighting against LTTE terrorists in the northern war front in Sri Lanka.

The expatriate association ‘Sri Lankan Diaspora - Switzerland’ initiated this generous gesture and collected chocolates from Sri Lankan expatriates residing in Basel, Bern, Fribourg, Geneva and Zurich.

The President and the Secretary of the association handed over the consignment of confectionaries to H.E. Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka, Ambassador/Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva, yesterday (08-04-2009) at the Mission’s premises. The consignment will be sent to the battlefield through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sri Lanka.
