According to emerging reports, Bangladesh’s military establishment has shown interest in developing a strategic defence cooperation framework with Pakistan, marking a possible evolution in bilateral military relations between the two countries.
Sources suggest that preliminary discussions are focused on areas such as defence training, military exchanges, and institutional cooperation. While no formal agreement has been announced, the reported interest signals growing engagement at the defence-establishment level.
Analysts note that such cooperation, if pursued, would align with broader regional trends of recalibrating defence partnerships in South Asia. For Bangladesh, enhanced defence dialogue could support capacity-building goals, while Pakistan may view it as part of wider regional outreach.
Officials from either side have not yet issued an official confirmation, and any potential agreement would require formal diplomatic and governmental approval. However, the reports underscore a noticeable warming of military-to-military engagement discussions between the two countries.
