¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a brief statement regarding the intake to the Faculty of Medicine of General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) for 2025-2026. As at 21 May, KDU has published its general admission notice for courses. However, certain clauses relating to admissions to the Faculty of Medicine require correction. Accordingly, I state that, this time, the Government has decided that admissions to the KDU Faculty of Medicine will be limited to foreign students and cadet officers only. Thank you very much.
