BANGLADESH ARMY CHIEF ON A VISIT TO INDIA
29 Nov 2011General Md Abdul Mubeen, Bangladesh Army Chief is on a visit to India from 28 November to 02 December 11. The visit assumes special significance in the light of improving military cooperation between the two countries in consonance with our growing relationship with Bangladesh.
India-Bangladesh relations are multifaceted and founded on historical linkages. The successful culmination of recent visit of Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh to Bangladesh in September 2011 has contributed significantly to the consolidation of the existing ties and given a further boost to the cordial relations between both the nations. The high level visits of both Army Chiefs in 2008, 2010 & 2011 has boosted our Military to military relations.
Military-to-Military Cooperation between Bangladesh and Indian Armed Forces encompasses exchange of high and medium level visits, availing of training courses in each other’s training institutions, witnessing of designated exercises by military observers from both sides, exchange of War Veterans, UNPKO, sharing experience in disaster management, sports and adventure activities.
During the visit, General Mubeen is scheduled to interact with Defence Minister, NSA, Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee, Service Chiefs, Defence Secretary and other members of Indian Armed Forces hierarchy. In addition, he will be visiting Agra, Jaipur, Kolkata, important training establishments and field formations.
The visit will further cement our defence relationship with Bangladesh and add impetus to ongoing defence cooperation. Maintenance of enhanced military to military contacts with Bangladesh by Indian Army is mutually beneficial to the strategic interests of both the neighbours. The ensuing visit of Bangladesh Army Chief has a major significance in the burgeoning defence cooperation between both the countries.
