Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, Vice Chief of the Indian Navy, has said that the three services of India are keeping a close eye on the growing relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan. He said that we are keeping an eye on all the situations and incidents and are taking necessary steps.
This statement has come at a time when the interim government formed in Bangladesh after the ouster of Sheikh Hasina from power has taken steps towards strengthening its relations with Pakistan. Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General Sahir Shamshad Mirza recently met the head of the new government, Muhammad Yunus. In this meeting, trade, investment and defense cooperation between the two countries were discussed. Bangladesh’s National Security Advisor Dr. Khalilur Rahman, Senior Secretary Lamia Morshed and Pakistan’s High Commissioner Imran Haider were present in the meeting.
What did Vice Admiral Vatsayan tell?
Vice Admiral Vatsayan also said that both America and Russia will participate in the upcoming International Fleet Review and Milan exercise. He said, “Both countries have confirmed sending their ships and some aircraft are also expected to arrive.” He said that so far 55 countries have expressed their desire to participate in these events, and this number may increase further in the coming months.
Vice Admiral Vatsayan said that there are always 40 to 50 foreign ships present in the Indian Ocean, whose activities are constantly monitored by the Indian Navy.
