Commemorating International Migrants Day, the Foreign Employment
Promotion and Welfare Ministry together with the Sri Lanka Bureau of
Foreign Employment has organised 'Dirisariya - Vinimaya Dinu Rataviru
Upahara', a programme and walk at the Galle Face, under the patronage of
President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
At this ceremony, four individuals who were leaving for foreign
employment received People's Bank International VISA debit cards from
the President. Apart from using this card as a convenient method for
transactions, it can also be used as an identity card as it carries the
passport number and photograph of the user.
The ceremony was attended by Foreign Employment Promotion and Welfare
Minister Dilan Perera, Postal Services Minister Jeevan Kumarathunga, MPs
Namal Rajapaksa and M.H.M. Ashwar along with the Bureau of Foreign
Employment Chairman, Kingsley Ranawaka and the People's Bank Chairman,
W. Karunajeewa.
