The security dialogue is an annual, civilian-led discussion that touches on all elements of the security relationship between the two countries.
The US delegation will be led by Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary Mira Resnick.
This year, the security dialogue closely follows the Bilateral Defense Dialogue, which took place on 23-24 August in Dhaka. The Bilateral Defense Dialogue featured senior officers and civilians from the US and Bangladeshi militaries.
During the dialogue, they discussed a range of issues specific to the military-to-military relationship, including military education, peacekeeping and upcoming military exercises, including next year's Disaster Response Exercise and Exchange.
