Dr Khalilur Rahman, the Chief Adviser’s High Representative on Rohingya Issues and Priority Issues, has been entrusted with an additional responsibility as the National Security Adviser.
The Cabinet Division issued a notification on Wednesday (April 9), officially revising Khalilur Rahman’s designation to ‘National Security Adviser and High Representative on Rohingya Issues.’
The notification also highlighted that he will assist the Chief Adviser in fulfilling duties related to the Ministry of Defence.
Khalilur Rahman was initially appointed as the Chief Adviser’s High Representative on Rohingya Issues and Priority Issues on November 19 last year, with the status, salary, allowances, and facilities equivalent to that of an adviser.
His expanded role underscores the government’s confidence in his leadership and expertise in addressing critical national and international challenges.
With this new assignment, Dr Khalilur Rahman is now poised to play a pivotal role in shaping Bangladesh’s national security policies while continuing to oversee pressing issues such as the Rohingya crisis and other priority matters.
