A proposal has been presented by the Minister of Mass Media Keheliya Rambukwella to print passports and government confidential documents by the Government Printing Department.

"Passports and government documents are currently being printed by foreign printing companies and printing them at the Government Press will retain the foreign exchange outflow in the country."

Hence, the Minister of Mass Media and information presented a proposal to purchase necessary machinery for this purpose and the Cabinet of Ministers considered the proposal and decided to assign the Planning Department to conduct a detailed evaluation of the project.
