Thank you, Ranu Bhai. You are right, Bangladesh should hold military exercises with other countries as well.
Bangladesh has been regularly holding joint military exercises with the US.
China involves Bangladesh, along with other countries, in its military drills. Last year, the "PLA Navy fleet arrived in Chittagong for the first time in the past three decades, taking part in a joint maritime drill with Bangladesh Navy." The China-Bangladesh military cooperation has been strengthening, and China is the main military ally of Bangladesh. According to China, "a growing number of high-level exchange visits, training programmes, joint exercises, defence procurement, security cooperation such as counter-terrorism, anti-piracy, peacekeeping cooperation, and disaster management would be the future areas of cooperation." (Please see: China, Bangladesh defence relations reach 'unprecedented heights',
"Bangladesh signed an agreement with Turkey on military training, education and joint cooperation between forces of both nations on 10 March 1981 at Dhaka." Present relation is very good.
Military relation with Russia is also good and so is with Saudi Arabia.

To strike a balance, Bangladesh should have similar military cooperation and exercises with other neighboring countries i.e., of SAARC, as well as with China, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand. In fact, emphasis should be given on multilateral joint exercises with a view to avoiding domination by any country in the region.

Seventh Bangladesh-India joint military exercise next week
[The first-ever Bangladesh-India joint military exercise was held in 2011 in Sylhet and was codenamed 'Op Sampriti' to practice "counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations under the UN mandate" and troops involved were around 40 from each side. Since then the Sampriti exercises have been held every year. The fifth Sampriti exercise was held in 2015 in West Bengal. The sixth Sampriti exercise was held in 2016 in Tangail. This year it is the seventh Sampriti exercise. Please see the following report in the Times of India on the seventh Sampriti exercise:]
