Dhaka, March 4 -- Foreign Minister Dr Khalilur Rahman on Wednesday said defence issues did not come up for discussion during his meeting with visiting US Assistant Secretary Paul Kapur and the words GSOMIA and ACSA were not even uttered in the meeting.

He made the remarks while responding to questions on defence cooperation between the two countries.

General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) and the Acquisition Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) are two foundational defence agreements which are "essential" to enabling a closer defence relationship, expanding opportunities for defence trade, information sharing, and military-to-military cooperation between our two countries.
