A four member delegation from Bangladesh led by President BIPSS, Major General ANM Muniruzzaman (Retd.), went to visit Singapore in the month of May 2009. The dialogue topics encompassed a wide range of issues that are of interest for both the countries; Singapore and Bangladesh. Both the institutes presented papers on domestic economic developments (of respective countries), regional security architecture, evolving regional relations in South and Southeast Asia and future of regional groupings in South and Southeast Asia (SAARC, ASEAN).
