Haluk Gorgun, an influential figure in Turkey's defence sector, arrived in Dhaka on a brief visit aimed at strengthening military ties with Bangladesh. The visit comes in response to previous military engagements between the two countries, highlighting the burgeoning defence collaboration.
Gorgun's itinerary includes high-level meetings with Bangladesh's interim government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus and military leaders across various branches. These discussions are expected to cover a range of topics, particularly the transfer of technology and bolstering their defence partnership.
Bangladesh holds a significant position as a leading purchaser of Turkish defence equipment. Talks may also veer into prospects of Turkey aiding in setting up a defence manufacturing unit in Bangladesh, despite the existence of the Ordinance Factory. Further reinforcing their multifaceted ties, Turkey and Bangladesh dialogue extends into space industry cooperation.
