India and Bangladesh will hold bi-annual DG-level border talks in New Delhi from June 8–11, the first since the BNP-led government took office in Dhaka earlier this year.
The Bangladesh delegation will be led by Border Guard Bangladesh Director General Maj Gen Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui, while the Indian side will be headed by Border Security Force Director General Praveen Kumar.
According to officials in both countries, border fencing, illegal migration, cross-border crimes and alleged border killings are expected to dominate the discussions.
The two sides are also expected to discuss drug and arms trafficking, human trafficking, preservation of border rivers, water-sharing issues, border infrastructure and emerging security concerns such as drone intrusions.
The meeting comes amid signs of improving bilateral engagement following Bangladesh’s February 2026 elections and Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman’s visit to India in April.
