Foreign Minister George Yeo, currently visiting Sri Lanka, has handed over 5,000 water purification tablets to help purify drinking water for internally displaced persons at a camp in Kopay, Jaffna.
The Singapore delegation also visited the historic Jaffna Library and Mr Yeo announced the contribution of 500 books from Singapore's National Library.
Singapore's Foreign Ministry says that during his meetings with the Sri Lankan leaders in the various districts, Minister Yeo expressed the hope that once peace was entrenched and trust between the communities restored in the country, there would be opportunities for tourism, education and foreign direct investment.
Mr Yeo told the Sri Lankan leaders that the successful Sri Lankan Singaporean diaspora stood ready to help Sri Lanka in its rehabilitation efforts.
