Touhid Travels to Kuwait for Counter-Terrorism Conference

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain has departed for Kuwait to attend a high-level counter-terrorism conference scheduled for November 4-5 in Kuwait City. This event, co-organized by Kuwait, Tajikistan, and the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), is titled “Strengthening International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation and Building Agile Border Security Mechanisms – The Kuwait Phase of the Dushanbe Process.”

Touhid's participation highlights Bangladesh's commitment to advancing counter-terrorism and border security initiatives, according to a senior official from the foreign ministry. He is expected to return to Dhaka on November 6.

The conference represents a crucial step in expanding the Dushanbe Process beyond Central Asia, aiming to enhance global counter-terrorism cooperation. It will gather foreign ministers, senior officials, and experts from the League of Arab States, Central Asia, Africa, and ASEAN, alongside UN Security Council members and representatives from various sectors, including civil society and the private sector.

Discussions will focus on strategies to prevent terrorist movements, foster collaboration, and establish partnerships to bolster border security and counter-terrorism efforts. The event will culminate on November 5 with the adoption of the "Kuwait Declaration," which will outline agreed outcomes and future directions for international cooperation in these critical areas.
