The Bay of Bengal Conversation (BOBC) 2024, an international geopolitical conference, is set to begin in Dhaka on Saturday. 

The event will bring together over 200 speakers, 300 delegates, and an audience of 800 participants from 80 countries around the world.

"Bangladesh stands at a unique moment in its history. Recent developments have opened profound opportunities for our nation to redefine itself on democratic principles, with a new openness to dialogue and collaboration," said Zillur Rahman, Executive Director of CGS, during a press conference on Friday.

Chief Advisor Prof Muhammad Yunus will address the inaugural session of the conference organised by Centre for Governance Studies (CGS) at Pan Pacific Sonargaon.

Zillur Rahman mentioned that BOBC will reflect this spirit by serving as a global platform to explore challenges that resonate across borders, from human rights and climate change to economic development, security, and technological transformation.

CGS Chairperson Munira Khan was also present at the press conference.
