Bangladesh and the United States have concluded Tiger Shark, a bilateral military exercise designed to enhance regional security cooperation, improve interoperability and build mutual capacity between the armed forces of both nations.

“This joint military exercise reaffirms our commitment to a safer, stronger and more prosperous Indo-Pacific. It also symbolises the strong US-Bangladesh partnership,” said US Chargé d’ Affaires Ambassador Tracey Jacobson marking the conclusion of the joint military exercise.

Tiger Shark reflects the enduring commitment of the United States and Bangladesh to promote peace, stability, and security in the Indo-Pacific region, said the US Embassy in Dhaka in a media release on Saturday.

The exercise brings together personnel from the United States Indo-Pacific Command and the Bangladesh Armed Forces, engaging in a range of integrated training activities including medical training, patrolling, marksmanship, swimming and diving, and close quarters combat.

In addition to tactical training, Tiger Shark features subject matter expert exchanges, joint planning sessions and simulation exercises.

These engagements help facilitate a coordinated approach to future regional challenges in the Indo-Pacific.

US Indo-Pacific Command is America’s oldest and largest combatant command, overseeing US military activities across the Asia-Pacific region and working with partners to promote regional peace and stability.​

Principal staff officer of the armed forces division Lieutenant General SM Kamrul Hasan signed the MoU on behalf of Bangladesh while Netherlands ambassador to Bangladesh Joris Van Bommel signed it on behalf of the Netherlands.

The agreement, signed to enhance defence ties in the spirit of brotherhood and mutual respect, has established a groundbreaking framework for cooperation in naval defence equipment, said a release of the Inter Services Public Relations directorate.

It would further expand opportunities for mutual cooperation in the naval defence industry, exchange of information and experience, exchange of education and training, transfer of technology, exchange of information as per industrial security policy and provide logistical support as required, said the release.

The signing of this historic MoU will increase the exchange of military experts between the two countries, which is expected to play an important role in enhancing naval defence capabilities and implementing future action plans, the ISPR also mentioned.

Besides, the agreement is being considered as an important milestone in the continuous progress of bilateral defence ties, further strengthening Bangladesh’s naval defence modernisation and long-term strategic cooperation with the Netherlands.

Non-resident defence attaché of the defence ministry of Netherlands Captain Geordie Klein, senior adviser on finance, trade and private sector development of the Netherlands embassy, directors general of the armed forces division, director general of the Western Europe and European Union branch of the Bangladesh foreign ministry and naval adviser of the ministry of defence, among others, were present at the signing ceremony.​
