Indian Army chief Gen MM Naravane handed over 1,00,000 Covid-19 vaccines to his Bangladeshi counterpart Gen Aziz Ahmed. Gen Ahmed thanked India for its commendable cooperation in helping his country tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
Gen Naravane is visiting Dhaka at the invitation of his Gen Ahmed. The visit comes less than two weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to the neighbouring country. During their meeting, the two generals discussed issues related to the good relations between the armed forces of the two countries and mutual cooperation in the future.
Gen Naravane paid tributes to the martyrs of Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War after arriving in the country on a five-day visit. His visit aims to further strengthen the close ties existing between the Armed Forces of the two nations. The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of India-Bangladesh diplomatic relations, the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan and the birth centenary of ‘Bangabandhu’ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
