Pakistan, Bangladesh discuss deeper defense cooperation as ties improve after Dhaka power shift

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Bangladesh discussed enhanced defense and security cooperation on Friday during a meeting between senior army officials in Rawalpindi, the Pakistani military said. Bangladesh witnessed a major political change last year when former prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in a popular uprising against her government. Hasina, long seen as close to India and critical of Pakistan, fled to New Delhi after her fall, putting pressure on Dhaka’s ties with India.
