BIISS–CIISS Dialogue

A five-member delegation from the China Institute for International Strategic Studies (CIISS), led by Major General Yan Jiangfeng (Retd.), visited the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) from 5–10 December 2010. During the visit, the delegation participated in a day-long seminar titled “BIISS–CIISS Dialogue”, held at the BIISS Auditorium.

The dialogue brought together researchers, strategic analysts, policymakers, diplomats, and members of the visiting delegation to discuss issues of mutual interest relating to Bangladesh–China relations, regional security, evolving geopolitical dynamics, and opportunities for strengthening institutional cooperation between BIISS and CIISS.

The seminar featured in-depth exchanges on contemporary strategic and security challenges in both the regional and global contexts. Participants discussed bilateral relations, regional peace and stability, economic and strategic cooperation, defence and security issues, and the role of think tanks in promoting policy-oriented research and strategic dialogue. The discussions underscored the importance of sustained academic engagement, knowledge sharing, and collaborative research in fostering mutual understanding and addressing common challenges.

The visit concluded with a shared commitment by BIISS and CIISS to further deepen institutional cooperation through regular dialogues, joint research initiatives, academic exchanges, and continued collaboration on issues of strategic importance, thereby contributing to stronger Bangladesh–China relations and enhanced regional cooperation.
