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', 

https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2016/07/28/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:]    


India, Bangladesh to kick off combat exercise in Mizoram next week

HIGHLIGHTS
The aim behind "Exercise Sampriti", which will be conducted from November 6 to 18, is to enhance interoperability between the two armies

The two armies will also hold a joint training capsule on anti-terror operations from November 13 to December 10 at the Danapur Cantonment in Bihar

NEW DELHI: The Indian and Bangladeshi armies are all set to hold an intensive combat exercise at the Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairengte in Mizoram from next week as part of the overall policy to bolster bilateral military ties.

The aim behind "Exercise Sampriti", which will be conducted from November 6 to 18, is to enhance interoperability between the two armies while conducting counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in a semi-mountainous jungle terrain.

"Sampriti will include a field training exercise at Vairengte, which will include heli-borne operations and neutralization of IEDs, and a command post exercise called Milap at the Umroi cantonment in Meghalaya," said an officer.

Interestingly, the two armies will also hold a joint training capsule on anti-terror operations from November 13 to December 10 at the Danapur Cantonment in Bihar. "The capsule's main aim will to be train junior commanders of the Bangladesh Army in effectively handling such operations," he added.

The Indian armed forces, seeking closer cooperation on the counter-terrorism front, are working towards "building capacity'' of the Bangladesh military, which ranges from training and exercises to military supplies and defence technologies. Bangladesh, of course, is another country in India's neighbourhood where China has made some strategic inroads over the last several years.

India, for instance, provides 90 vacancies for different courses in its military establishments and academies for the Bangladeshi armed forces every year. There is also a tailor-made training programme for 100 Bangladeshi soldiers at the Mechanized Infantry Regimental Centre at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra.

Moreover, the Indian Army, Navy and IAF hold regular staff-level talks with their Bangladeshi counterparts. India, for instance, has been holding direct Army-to-Army staff talks with Bangladesh since 2009 to chalk out the cooperation between the two forces in the years ahead.
TOP COMMENT

The importance of the talks can be gauged from the fact that India has similar staff talks with just a handful of countries, which include US, UK, Israel, France, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

Similarly, the bilateral naval cooperation has been traditionally strong, encompassing a wide span to include operational interactions through training, port calls, passage exercises along with "capability building and capacity augmentation initiatives". The Bangladeshi Navy is also the present chair of the Indian Ocean Symposium (IONS), which is a multilateral maritime cooperation platform launched by the Indian Navy.
