BGB-BSF DG Level Conference Begins

A four-day border conference between Bangladesh and Indian border guards began in Dhaka on Thursday.

The talks started at 10.45 am at the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) headquarters.

BGB Director General (DG) Major General Md Shafeenul Islam is leading a 13-member Bangladesh delegation while his BSF counterpart Rakesh Asthana is heading the six-member team in the conference, said a BGB press release.

The conference will conclude with the signing of a Joint Record of Discussions (JRD) on September 19.

Earlier, the BGB-BSF DGLT was postponed on September 13 as the BSF delegation could not reach Dhaka due to a technical glitch in their aircraft.
