Expanding Civil Nuclear, Defense Ties
The two countries are dynamically developing the "mutually beneficial relations” in the realm of defense, as stated by the Russian defense ministry after military-level consultations last month on the sidelines of ARMY 2023” International Military-Technical Forum (IMTF) in Moscow.
The defense talks were attended by Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin and Tariq Ahmed Siddiqi, who is Prime Minister Hasina’s special advisor on security matters.
Hasina said at the Qatar Economic Forum in May that Bangladesh is ready to buy Russian oil at an affordable price, in the wake of global volatility in crude prices which have adversely affected Global South nations.
