National Security Advisor (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka officially does not have a role for a national security advisor. However, President Ranil Wickremasinghe in 2022 appointed former Cabinet Minister of Law and Order Sagala Ratnayaka as a Presidential Advisor on National Security.[1] The President's Media Unit[2] of the Presidential Secretariat and several other government departments stylised as NSA,[3] as did the White House.[4] The NSA does not hold an ex-officio seat in the National Security Council as it is not a codified position.
