UNB, Dhaka :
Bangladesh and the United States will discuss ways to further strengthen security cooperation between the two countries with specific focus on “mechanisms to counter terrorism” in a better way and other new issues in the coming security dialogue.
Other current security issues, including military and non-military cooperation between the two countries, will also be discussed in the fifth Security Dialogue, likely to be held in Dhaka in October. Both sides are now working to finalise a date.
“We’re looking to finalise dates…,” US Ambassador
Marcia Bernicat told reporters after her meeting with Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque at the Foreign Ministry on Sunday.
The security dialogue usually covers a broad range of topics, including strategic priorities and regional issues, security assistance, cyber-security, peacekeeping, military-to-military cooperation and counter-terrorism, foreign ministry sources said.
Humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, maritime and other related issues are likely to be discussed in the security dialogue, too.
