IAF Chief to visit Bangladesh next week

[Avisheik]

In a bid to strengthen military ties, IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne will be on a visit to Bangladesh next week.

The IAF Chief will discuss ways of enhancing and further strengthening ties between the two air-forces, IAF officials said here.

Browne will also hold discussions with the senior political and military leadership of the neighbouring country.

This will be the second time in last two years that an IAF Chief will visit Dhaka. Former IAF Chief ACM P V Naik had gone there in January, 2010.

It is understood that there is a possibility of the two sides co-operating in maintenance of the MiG 29 fleet being operated by the Bangladesh Air Force.

Army Chief Gen V K Singh had also visited Dhaka last year and gifted equipment and other aid to the Bangladesh army.

The two countries have developed close defence ties in the last few years and even begun military exercises.

In a recent exercise, special forces of the two countries had held an exercise in Bangladesh and have also started holding staff-level talks

Dnt worry RAW/MOSSAD/HASINA will force them to do this

I dont think so, tejas are quite expensive compared to an aircraft with the same functions. IMO tejas is for indegenous pride for indians.

Anyway, tejas is a part of our modernisation plans

We need to upgrade our current MiGs badly.

I think they might be saving up for something huge . You might never know

We have skirmishes with India often at the border, cooperation with such a nation should not take place. We have nothing tongain from india.

No skirmishes occured since 2001. If we dont co-operate through dialouge and exercises, we will be unable to put forward our problems with them and thus we both will continue misunderstanding each other.
