A group of 10 Bangladeshi youth, nominated by the interim government of Bangladesh, participated in the BIMSTEC Young Leaders’ Summit, hosted by the government of India from September 9-11 in Guwahati, Assam.
This is the second edition of the event as the first BIMSTEC Youth Summit was held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India in February 2025, which also saw the participation of 10 Bangladeshi youth delegates, reports BSS.
The Summit underscored that the young leaders of the Bay of Bengal region should come together for ushering in inclusivity and deeper regional cooperation. The event also spotlighted the strategic importance of North East India as a land bridge linking the Bay of Bengal community and advancing socio-economic integration.
The initiative, part of the 21-point action plan announced by the Prime Minister of India at the 6th BIMSTEC Summit, was organised in partnership with the Bharat Scouts and Guides and inaugurated by the governor of Assam.
