COLOMBO: The Young Women Muslim Association (YWMA) appreciated the services of outgoing Malaysian High Commissioner Nazeer a Hussain by hosting a farewell lunch at the YMMA headquarters in Colombo.

YWMA president Jennath Ismail, YMMA President Jiffry Haniffa, ex President Khalid Farook and the members participated.

The YWMA members visited Malaysia to study the cultural diversity and heritage of Muslim community and shared their ideas in various fields such as health religion, economy and education or an invitation by Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (MYMM).

It also helped the YWMA members in gaining first hand information of the strategies and plans implemented by the Malaysian Government for the uplift of its people within the framework of Islamic principles.

A group of youngsters participated in a leadership programme organised by various movements in Malaysia in May this year.

Since its Independence, Malaysia has become one of the leading Asian countries which is highly developed in science and technology.

The YWMA expects to uphold and foster the existing friendship and understanding with Malaysia.
