Shama Obaed Islam left Dhaka on Saturday for Senegal to participate in the Dakar International Forum on Peace and Security, which addresses issues of global stability, security cooperation, and emerging geopolitical challenges, reports UNB.
The state minister will participate in the forum scheduled to be held from April 19 to April 22, according to foreign ministry sources.
The Dakar International Forum on Peace and Security in Africa is a high-level platform that brings together African leaders, global policymakers, defence experts and international partners.
Since its launch in 2014, the forum has addressed challenges such as terrorism, violent extremism, maritime security, climate-related risks and transnational crime.
The annual event, held in Dakar, aims to promote collective responses to security threats in Africa while strengthening international cooperation and dialogue among nations and institutions.
Shama Obaed Islam is expected to engage in discussions and meetings on the sidelines of the forum, highlighting Bangladesh's commitment to global peace, multilateralism and international security cooperation.
She is scheduled to return to Bangladesh on April 24.
