The Media
Centre for National Security (MCNS) was established
for the specific purpose of disseminating all
national security and defence-related information
and data to the Media and the public from one
co-coordinated centre.

of President Mahinda Rajapaksa comes within the
purview of Defence Spokesman for the Government

by the Director General of the MCNS. Media coordinators
of all three Armed Forces, Police & Special

the clock to ensure speedy collection and dissemination
of information.

statistics, visuals and other information to the
public, produces special dossiers, audio-video
