He also called for stronger regional cooperation on counter-terrorism, including intelligence sharing. The BNP has secured a sweeping victory in the recent parliamentary elections, with Mr. Rahman expressing his intention to focus on domestic priorities before engaging in international engagements, including a visit to India.
