Good news. We need to start investing more in bangladesh. Rapidly growing economy along with a huge workforce. They just need to kick start the industrialisation process in earnest.

Plus I would love to see a Milgem class corvette patrolling the bay of Bengal.

only one?? there was rumor/plan to introduce Milgem on tot after 2020! Bangladesh is considering Turkey + South Korea as alternative source for Navy beside China!

It is Bangladeshi PM, not Bengali PM. It's like saying Urdu PM instead of Pakistani PM.

Considering that you live in UAE, Bengali is more popular in these parts!

You are correct it should be Bangladeshi PM. But we have seen some indians try to use "Bengali" term.

Actually we refer to Bangladeshi PM, not Bengali. Bangladesh has people from different ethnics, like our CHT region. They are Bangladeshi.
Bangladesh has always considered Turkey as a friend. We got a road in Dhaka, " Kamal Ataturk Avenue". We look forward to more co-operation with Turkey.

Milgems look kicka$$,would really like to see them in Bay of Bengal.Fingers crossed as we all know our PM is sort of military freak, hehe wouldn't be surprised if she returns with some deals regarding Milgems,subs and there is a strong possibility BN is looking for subs from South Korea,Turkey but i may be wrong !! And BN SWADS also getting training in Turkey.

Btw,i hope Turkey will cut the restrictions some slacks that they put on Bangladeshi garments.

 

[scholseys]

Thing is Turkey already makes high end garment products themselves that is why they have restrictions.

 

[boltu]

Then there is not much hope for garments and i think she also knows that.Now i wonder why she is there !!! May be some big surprise waiting for our military

Milgems with ToT would be awesome. If this happens and Bangladesh can start building advanced warships 'in-house' then other nations would think twice about sending any subs into BD waters.

People need to stop underestimating BD. The potential is most definitely there.
