Great news.... fantastic exposure for our troops, excellent leadership training for our officers, valuable opportunity to develop international links and lucrative foreign exchange earner.

What GOB needs to do is to send in a contingent of business development agents who can go there to set up trade links with local businesses for our products particularly pharma, textile and plastic products as a starter. After war there comes peace.... BD need to ensure that we can exploit war and peace...

Good proposal, however, these tasks does not fall within the jurisdiction of the ARMED FORCES. Instead, depending upon the consumers GDP, PURCHASING POWER PARITY, and population density, we if absolutely necessary, may open a TRADE consulate, funded entirely by FBCCI, TO EXPLORE new avenues for expanding our export market.

It does not fall within the armed forces duties off course..... but their mission gives BD a way into markets that will take shape after the conflict is over.... what better time and opportunity than now and via their peace keeping activity.
Such things takes vision and taking a calculated risk.... in my opinion well worth it.... formal trade routes takes a long time and a war torn country won't have such mechanism.... we need to go in and make the market.

We better stop writing posts on unrelated matters. Moreover, Bangladesh Armed Forces are not the branch of a trading house.

 

[Banglar Bir]

Yes indeed, the Armed Forces involved in PEACE KEEPING ROLE, could be kind and magnanimous enough enough to send their proposals through the AFD,in addition to their T.O.R, in turn the various concerned chambers could be consulted by the Ministry of Commerce/Industries, tagging MOFA along.

The respective CHAMBERS, if deemed feasible could send their OWN fact finding/evaluation team.

Government role should remain limited to formulate policies/amend rules, those are business friendly an conductive and act as an facilitator only.

MOFA does not have sufficient resources to tap into all these countries, our forces ,stationed there, have a far in depth practical knowledge,their reports would be greatly admired.

Id like to know through curiosity how the Bangladeshi army views Pakistan? I'm well aware the current government (not civilians) in power absolutely hates Pakistan and Pakistanis. What about the Bangladesh military? Incase of a war between Pakistan and India would Bangladesh provide moral support to India?

Current govt might give moral support but majority of people support will go for Pakistan.

Well its mentioned in @monitor 's post -

Equipment for Special Forces Command with Paracommandos and Airborne brigades. Usually this means a squadron of airborne capable tanks, ultra-light 155mm artillery, helicopters, big transport aircraft, night vision devices, anti-tank weapons, MANPADS, sniper rifles, ATGM, mortars and other types of equipment.

No. They will sit and watch and possibly try to learn from the tactics used by both belligerents. Govt. will ofc publicly yell for India. Public opinion will be divided because both anti-pakistan and anti-india sentiment is rampant. But support for pakistan would be a lil more cause human always pit for the underdog.

Nope, no government( either BNP or BAL) will not say a single syllable in case of a war between the two. The taking sides is just absurd & self destructive & both the parties knows it.

In case anyone haven't noticed, it will be a major breech of our constitution & our long standing foreign policy of non alignment & neutrality in internationally polarising matters.

Anyway this discussion is offtopic in this thread, so I will refrain from further replies.
