Two MoUs on defence cooperation were signed

Over 20 agreements, including a civil nuclear agreement and two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) on defence cooperation, were signed after the bilateral talks between Prime Minister sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in Hyderabad.

The defence MoUs will cover a whole of issues, including training of submariners, information sharing, cooperation between coast guards and information sharing between the two army chiefs, said Sripriya Ranganathan, who heads the Indian MEA's Bangladesh and Myanmar Desk.

Under the MoUs, Bangladesh will get a $500 million line of credit to buy arms and military technology from India, she added.
