New Delhi: A high-level meeting between India and Bangladesh has commenced in New Delhi to address key border security concerns between the two neighboring nations. The discussions are focused on emerging challenges along the border, including illegal infiltration, smuggling activities, and the repatriation of undocumented migrants. Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) Director General Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui arrived in India with a 15-member delegation and was welcomed by Border Security Force (BSF) Director General Praveen Kumar.
The 97th Director General-level Border Coordination Conference, scheduled to continue for four days, will provide a platform for both sides to deliberate on a range of sensitive and pending issues.
