Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad on Wednesday said security without accountability can never ensure global stability in the changing world order.

He also stressed the need for investing in developing new leadership in the face of the rapid expansion of technology.

“Such efforts will demonstrate responsibility towards building the nation’s future while strengthening people’s trust and confidence,” the Speaker said while addressing the closing session of a two-day international conference.

The Centre for Future Studies of Bangladesh University of Professionals organised the conference titled “National Security in South Asia in the Context of the New World Order”, focusing on redefining national security in South Asia, transactional multipolarity and regional cooperation, energy security, migration and refugees in South Asia, combating misinformation and disinformation, and regional cooperation in a changing world.

Hafiz Uddin said security does not depend solely on internal strength, but also on a nation’s acquired knowledge, wisdom and the stability of international borders.

The event brought together regional and international experts who exchanged views and presented research-based analyses on emerging regional and global security challenges.

Among the keynote speakers were Pramod Jaiswal of Nepal, Subashini Abeyasinghe of Sri Lanka, Salma Malik of Pakistan, and Greg Simons of Sweden.

The Speaker thanked the university authorities, including Vice Chancellor Major General Md Mahbub-Ul Alam, and the organisers associated with the event.

Deans of different faculties, senior officials, teachers, researchers, students and invited guests were present at the programme.
