Bangladesh, China agree to increase military cooperation

[The Ronin]

DHAKA, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh's President Abdul Hamid on Tuesday met with visiting Chinese State Councilor and Minister of National Defense Wei Fenghe here and the two sides agreed to advance the bilateral military cooperation.

During the meeting, Hamid said Bangladesh and China are time tested friends and reliable strategic cooperation partners, adding that his country attaches great importance to its relations with China and firmly supports the core interests of China.

The Bangladesh president called on both countries to strengthen coordination in international affairs and be committed to safeguarding regional peace, stability, prosperity and development.

Hamid said he hopes the two militaries will continue to strengthen their practical cooperation in various fields, pushing for greater progress in their relations.

He also expressed gratitude for China's strong support for his country in its development of economy and national defense.

Wei said during the meeting that China and Bangladesh have been friendly neighbors since ancient time and have a long history of bilateral ties, adding that presently, both countries are at a crucial time in national rejuvenation and development, enjoying a synergy between their development strategies and a broad prospect for cooperation.

Wei said that China is willing to work with Bangladesh to well implement the important consensus reached between their leaders to further develop the bilateral strategic partnership of cooperation.

With their cooperation being extensive, the two militaries should further increase the high-level visits, deepen cooperation in equipment technology, broaden exchanges in specialized fields, and forge closer military relations, Wei said.

To jointly maintain regional peace and stability, the two sides should make joint efforts against powers outside the region setting up military alliance in South Asia and practicing hegemonism, Wei said.

Also on Tuesday, Wei held in-depth talks with Bangladesh's Chief of Army Staff Aziz Ahmed, discussing international and regional situation as well as relations between the two countries and two militaries.

This is a counter visit after Modi's and the Indian army chief's recent visits to BD.

BD should stray neutral and balance West with China to neutralise Indian influence.


BD has massive economic and demographic links with the West and so needs to not antagonise anyone.

There is a difference between what should vs will

In an Ideal world BD should stay neutral . Use the Chinese for weapons, Use the West for business, therefore eliminate the Indian influence.

Reality is that USA has made a vassal state out of India. Eliminating the Indian influence will mean going against the interest of Uncle SAM. This means going further into the loving arms of Uncle Xi. Bd is not strong enough to go against uncle Sam and expect to function without a strong ally

This is what is happening btw. The military is 90% supplied by the Chinese. Sure you have a few big tickets from Korea or west. But the work horse is from China.

Major projects are being worked under the Chinese or being invested by the Chinese. Reality is BD is already under the Chinese orbit of influence. Its just not declared it self to the world.

makes sense China, with Xi as it's leader, is now a black nation.
Bangladeshi worship a black rock and are thus a black nation.
Once Xi came to power relations with the USA soured. USA, with it's white house, is a white nation and thus doesn't get along well with blacks.

African, Brazilian and US Blacks, many of whom believe they are Israelites, will soon figure out that it is China where blacks will find their new land of milk and honey, thus ease, parasitism, drug dealing and jumping, dancing and singing for big money. Huge empty cities ready for occupation.

Perhaps those Israeli black hats who looted Britain and the USA will show up too.

Your post starts with "Makes sense" - but it is anything but making sense. Oh the irony.

I guess this demanding demand related to BD proposal for production line of MANPAD that Dalal posted where BD try to find countries which can supply the necessary TOT for that.

I doubt China demand like this if BD doesnt demand China first.......

 

[F-6 enthusiast]

I doubt China demand like this if BD doesnt demand China first.......

that is strange. your point makes sense

Normally with these kind of high level meetings they do the ''Peace , friendship, trade etc'' talk.
official BD news is he came to discuss vaccines and recovery. Why send a general ?
At least we know what was on the real agenda for this meeting, there are some details which unfortunately will never know

Bangladesh army is now looking for Turkish weapons. Bangladesh might buy Khan ballistic missile and Bayraktar drones from Turkey.

Within next 10-20 years Bangladesh army will be the next Ottoman army(Soundtrack of Etrugul ghazi in background ROFL) taking into account the massive interest they are showing towards Turkish weapons.

No. I think Bangladesh army should stay neutral buy weapons from Turkey and France and reduce dependency on China.

Bangladesh army should not buy weapons from US which will anger China and also should not buy weapons from China which will anger US.

Moreover Turkish weapons are good and costs much lower than American weapons. They can be bought in large quantities.
