The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in Sri Lanka were accorded legal status with the signing of an agreement in Colombo yesterday. A press release issued by the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society states the legal status agreement was signed by S. Palihakkara, Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Alasdair Gordon-Gibson, IFRC representative in Sri Lanka. With a membership of 181 national Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies worldwide, the IFRC now enjoys a legal status in 60 countries and Sri Lanka becomes the fourth South Asian country to do so. The SLRCS has a network of branches in 25 districts with a member-volunteer base of over 125,000 which is the society's key strength.
