Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has stressed on combined efforts among intelligence agencies of the Asia Pacific region to overcome the security challenges.
The prime minister was inaugurating the 7th Asia-Pacific Intelligence Chiefs Conference (APICC) at Hotel Radison in the capital on Tuesday morning, BSS reported.
"The security challenges that confront mankind today cannot be faced alone by any country. The world would have to work in unison and in a holistic manner to face the menace," she said.
Chiefs of intelligence's of 27 countries are taking part in the five-day conference.
Sheikh Hasina said the terrorists and extremists are always innovating and improvising their ways and means for their very existence.
"Whenever intelligence agencies unearth some of their strategies and techniques, the terrorists switch to newer ones. So, it is really a very challenging mission," she said.
The Prime Minister said the people of Bangladesh, which emerged through an unprecedented bloodshed, are always in favour of peace.
