India and Bangladesh are set to conduct their bi-annual Director General (DG)-level border talks in New Delhi from June 8 to 11, marking the first such meeting since the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) assumed power in early 2023. The discussions will focus on critical issues including border fencing, cross-border crimes, and the handling of illegal Bangladeshi migrants. The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) will be represented by DG Praveen Kumar, while the Bangladesh delegation will be led by Maj Gen Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). With a 4,096 km border, of which 860 km remains unfenced, the talks are crucial for both countries' security strategies. The Indian government has reiterated its commitment to preventing illegal infiltration, emphasizing a three-pronged approach of 'detect, delete, and deport'. The BGB is expected to raise concerns over alleged killings of its nationals by the BSF, which maintains that its actions are in response to threats. The outcome of these discussions will be documented in a joint record on June 11.
