Dhaka: Bangladesh's Army Chief General
Mohammed Abdul Mubeen will pay a visit to India next week to
boost military ties between the two nations.
On an invitation by his Indian counterpart General Deepak
Kapoor, Mubeen will visit the country on a five-day goodwill
tour.
He will be accompanied by his wife and a four-member army
delegation. During the tour he will call on Kapoor and discuss
on the matters of professional interests, bilateral military
issues and visit Indian Army establishments, an ISPR statement
said here.
This would be Mubeen's maiden India tour after his
appointment as the chief of army staff last year.
Kapoor had visited Dhaka on a six-day tour in July 2008,
five months after his the then counterpart and Mubeen's
predecessor General Moeen U Ahmed visited India on a weeklong
tour.
