Poet and writer Anne Ranasinghe will receive the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on 13 October at a special evening to celebrate her life and work organised by the German Embassy in Colombo.

The Order of Merit was instituted in 1951 by Federal President Theodor Heuss. It is the only honour that may be awarded in all fields of endeavour, and is the highest tribute the Federal Republic of Germany can pay to individuals.

The Cross of Merit will be presented by German Ambassador Dr. Juergen Morhard, representing Federal President Joachim Gauck. Dignitaries including British High Commissioner James Dauris and the Honourary Consul of Israel in Sri Lanka Wicky Wickramatunga will be present at Tuesday’s ceremony.
