The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and India’s Border Security Force (BSF) began their 57th director general-level border conference in New Delhi on Monday, June 8, 2026. The four-day meeting, running until June 11, marks the first such high-level dialogue since Bangladesh’s new BNP-led government took office. The BGB delegation, led by Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui, includes 15 senior officials and representatives from key ministries and agencies. Bangladesh is prioritizing seven unresolved and sensitive issues, including border killings and alleged forced push-ins by BSF personnel.

According to the source, Bangladesh intends to raise concerns over continued border shootings, illegal infiltration attempts, arms and drug smuggling, and the presence of armed groups in Indian territory. The government expects India to commit to non-disturbance along the border. Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said the meeting would focus on border management, cooperation, and recent push-in incidents, emphasizing dialogue for sustainable solutions.

The outcome of this conference is viewed as crucial for the depth of bilateral relations and the effectiveness of future border management between the two neighboring countries.
