During discussions in Dhaka from October 7-9, 1993, the Home Secretaries of India and Bangladesh agreed that the Director General level meetings between BSF and BGB were to be a bi-annual event.

The BSF in the tweet further stated, "In the agreed summary of discussions during the said meeting, it was emphasized that problems in the areas of mutual interests and concerns could be progressively resolved through close contacts and continuing meaningful dialogue at various levels. Accordingly, DG BSF and DG BGB have been holding Border Coordination meetings twice a year alternatively at Delhi and Dhaka and joint record of discussions of these meetings are forwarded to Ministry of Home Affairs after each such meeting."
