Khalilur Rahman set to attend Colombo Security Conclave meeting in New Delhi

The government has nominated National Security Adviser (NSA) Dr Khalilur Rahman as the head of Bangladesh delegation to join the 7th NSA-level meeting of the Colombo Security Conclave to be held on November 19 and 20 in New Delhi, India. The government made the decision following an invitation from Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to Dr Rahman to attend the regional forum.

The Chief Adviser's Press Wing said this in a press release here today.  According to the release, the interim government emphasizes regional cooperation as a priority and has actively participated in meetings of various regional bodies.  In April this year, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus was elected Chair of BIMSTEC. 

He has been working hard to reactivate SAARC.  NSA Rahman earlier led Bangladesh delegation to the China-Indian Ocean Region Forum in Kunming, China.  His participation at the Colombo Security Conclave in New Delhi is in continuation of the interim government's efforts to foster mutually beneficial regional cooperation.
