The meeting saw fruitful exchange of views on the existing friendly relations between Bangladesh and Turkey, bilateral defence cooperation, military training, defence technology, defence industry cooperation, capacity building and various issues of mutual interest. Both sides expressed their interest in further expanding professional relations, exchange of experiences and defence cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries in the future.
