Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jaiswal said that Director General (DG) level talks between India's Border Security Force (BSF) and Bangladesh's Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) will be held in New Delhi from February 17 to 20. The talks will focus on border-related issues as well as respecting mutually agreed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements. On January 22, the BSF and BGB held a sector commander-level coordination meeting at the Sonamasjid border post in Bangladesh. According to the BSF South Bengal Frontier, the meeting aimed to ensure peace and cooperation on the India-Bangladesh border.

The spokesperson also expressed concern over the ongoing conflict in some parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He said that about 25,000 Indian citizens live in the DRC. About 1,000 of them are in the conflict-affected city of Goma. However, most of them have moved to safer places. Our embassy has issued an advisory and has also provided helpline numbers so that if anyone has any problem, they can contact them immediately.

Jaiswal said that India has lodged a strong protest with Sri Lanka over the recent incident of detention and firing on Indian fishermen. Two Indian fishermen from Karaikal were injured in the firing by the Sri Lankan Navy in the Jaffna Sea. After this, India lodged a strong protest against the firing of the Sri Lankan Navy. The Ministry of External Affairs also summoned the acting High Commissioner of Sri Lanka in Delhi to register a protest over this incident.
