Bangladesh Home Minister Skips BIMSTEC Meeting in New Delhi Amid Strained Ties
Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed will skip the first-ever BIMSTEC home ministers' meeting in New Delhi amid strained India-Bangladesh relations following political changes in Bangladesh in 2024. A delegation led by Home Affairs Senior Secretary Manzur Morshed Chowdhury will represent Bangladesh at the two-day meeting focused on enhancing regional security cooperation, including law enforcement and counterterrorism efforts. Bangladesh currently holds the BIMSTEC chairmanship, and the meeting aims to strengthen collaboration among member states bordering the Bay of Bengal.
