Bangladesh is on the verge of formalizing a military cooperation agreement with Pakistan, reminiscent of a previously established pact between Islamabad and Riyadh. The proposed agreement, amid rising regional tensions, could facilitate joint military exercises and intelligence sharing, raising security concerns for India. The Bangladesh Army is reportedly eager to proceed, with both countries conducting multiple rounds of talks to finalize the draft before upcoming elections. However, the political landscape in Bangladesh could shift if the opposition party, which tends to favor India, gains power, potentially jeopardizing the agreement. Indian intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the situation, especially given implications of enhanced military ties between Bangladesh and Pakistan during a period of internal conflict in Bangladesh.
