Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman left Dhaka on Sunday (July 19) for Turkey on a five-day official visit at the invitation of the Turkish government.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Army Chief will visit various modern defense industrial institutions and military installations in Turkey during the visit. These visits will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences on defense technology, military equipment production and various issues of mutual cooperation.
