Bangladesh and India are now holding the sixth home minister-level talks on Sunday to discuss cooperation between the two countries with special focus on security cooperation.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan and his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh are leading their respective sides in the meeting being held at the conference room in the Home Ministry in Dhaka.

The ministers are expected to discuss issues related to security, border management, cooperation in countering illegal activities and travel arrangements at the meeting that began at 10:30 am.

Earlier on Friday, the visiting Indian home minister said Bangladesh and India have made a “notable progress” in transforming land and maritime boundaries into zones of peace and tranquillity.

“India attaches great significance to ties with Bangladesh,” said the Indian minister.

The last home minister-level talks were held in July 2016 in New Delhi.

The Indian minister is scheduled to leave Dhaka on Sunday afternoon.
