It's called lobbying... That money would probably end up getting Bangladesh to buy a lot more from Pakistan in return...

Remember Pakistan has always wanted to sell the JF-17 to Bangladesh.

Thats the idea, helping eachother. We've provided aid to Afghanistan worth more than $300 million and our own industry will benefit from whatever aid is given to developping countries.
