Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman returned home on Saturday after wrapping up a five-day official visit to Turkey.

During the visit, the army chief paid tribute at Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder and first president of Turkey.


He also held separate courtesy meetings with Turkish National Defence Minister Yaşar Güler, Chief of the Turkish General Staff General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu, Commander of the Turkish Land Forces General Metin Tokel and Director of Istanbul Naval Shipyard Rear Admiral Recep Erdinç Yetkin.

The meetings covered Bangladesh-Turkey relations, bilateral defence cooperation, military training, defence technology, cooperation in the defence industry, capacity-building and other issues of mutual interest.

Both sides expressed interest in further expanding professional ties, experience-sharing and defence cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries.

Turkiye is doing really well in its defence exports.

However I think Bangladesh should work with Turkey on a joint submarine project.
