The government has decided that National Security Adviser (NSA) Dr Khalilur Rahman will lead the Bangladesh delegation to the 7th NSA-level meeting of the Colombo Security Conclave.

The conclave will be held in New Delhi on November 19-20.

National Security Adviser of India Ajit Doval extended the invitation to Dr Rahman to attend this regional forum, said the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Friday. 

His participation in the Colombo Security Conclave in New Delhi continues the interim government’s efforts to foster mutually beneficial regional cooperation.

The interim government emphasises regional cooperation as a priority and has actively participated in meetings of various regional bodies. 

In April this year, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus was elected Bimstec chair. 

He has been working hard to reactivate Saarc, said the press wing.

NSA Dr Rahman earlier led the Bangladesh delegation to the China-Indian Ocean Region Forum in Kunming, China.
