Khalilur Rahman, currently serving as the National Security Adviser to the Chief Adviser of the interim government, is set to be included in the new cabinet of the BNP government, according to a source close to him. The same source indicated that he may be appointed as the Foreign Minister. The Cabinet Division has begun inviting new ministers following the swearing-in of members of parliament, with 49 BNP leaders called to join. President Md. Shahabuddin is scheduled to administer their oaths at the South Plaza of the National Parliament Building on Tuesday afternoon.

Rahman was appointed in November 2024 as the High Representative for Rohingya issues and priority affairs under the Chief Adviser, and later, in April 2025, he became the National Security Adviser. He also played a significant role in recent trade negotiations with the United States.

The inclusion of Rahman in the cabinet underscores his growing influence in foreign and security affairs within the BNP-led administration.
