Bangladesh National Parliament Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad Bir Bikrom stated that security without accountability can never bring stability to the world. He made the remarks while addressing the closing session of a two-day international conference organized by the Center for Future Studies at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), held under the theme ‘National Security in South Asia in the Context of the New World Order.’ The event concluded on May 20, 2026.

The conference discussed redefining national security in South Asia, transactional multilateralism, regional cooperation, energy security, migration and refugees, combating misinformation and disinformation, and cooperation in a changing world. Key speakers included experts from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Sweden. Ahmad emphasized that security depends not only on internal strength but also on a nation’s knowledge, wisdom, and the stability of international borders.

He also called for investment in developing new leadership to adapt to technological expansion, which he said would strengthen public trust and demonstrate national responsibility.
