Military Secretary to the president Md Aminul Karim, and newly appointed principal staff officer of the armed forces Abdul Mobin, have been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, a government official said Monday.

In the latest of a series of army shuffles, Karim was also appointed head of the National Defence College, secretary to the president Md Sirajul Islam told bdnews24.com by phone.

The posting to the country's top military school was made vacant as Lt Gen Masud Uddin Chowdhury was transferred Sunday for the second time in under a week, this time to the foreign ministry for possible appointment as an ambassador.

Abdul Mobin was appointed as PSO on June 2.
