India And Bangladesh Strengthen Maritime Cooperation And Military Ties

India and Bangladesh have pledged to enhance maritime cooperation in alignment with New Delhi’s Act East policy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR).

Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) Admiral Dinesh Tripathi discussed various areas of further cooperation during a meeting with his counterpart, Admiral M. Nazmul Hassan, at the Bangladesh Naval Headquarters in Dhaka.

“The two Principals discussed longstanding and robust ties between the two nations and navies; initiatives for enhancing maritime cooperation, avenues for capacity building and capability enhancement, including coordinated ops towards bolstering interoperability in the maritime domain,” the Indian Navy said on Monday.

Admiral Tripathi began his four-day visit to Bangladesh by paying tribute to the bravehearts of the Bangladesh Armed Forces who made the supreme sacrifice during the 1971 Liberation War at the Shikha Anirban (eternal flame).

The CNS is also scheduled to review the Passing Out Parade at the Bangladesh Naval Academy (BNA) in Chittagong on July 4, address participants at the National Defence College in Dhaka, and visit key defence facilities in the country.

“Naval cooperation between India and Bangladesh has been traditionally strong, encompassing a wide span which includes operational interactions through port calls, bilateral Naval exercises, along with capacity building, capability enhancement, and training initiatives,” the Indian Defence Ministry stated on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Indian Navy Destroyer INS Ranvir has arrived in Chattogram for a week-long visit coinciding with Admiral Tripathi’s visit. The Guided Missile Destroyer is part of the frontline combatant fleet of the Indian Navy on the Eastern Seaboard.

Earlier this month, India and Bangladesh signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further consolidate cooperation in military education during the state visit of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India. The MoU was sign between Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) Wellington and Defence Services Command and Staff College (DSCSC) located in Dhaka’s Mirpur.

Both colleges train officers of tri-services, preparing them for higher staff and command responsibilities.
