Bangladesh to buy 44 armored vehicles from China

DHAKA: Bangladesh will purchase 44 military armored vehicles from China at a cost of 200 million dollars.

“The military hardware will be delivered to Bangladesh within next 15 months,” he said.
 
He, however, could not give the total figure of military hardware purchase from China.
 
The ambassador termed “fruitful” the recent visit of Bangladesh army chief General Mubeen to China and said, “Defence cooperation between Bangladesh and China is an important component of our bilateral relations.”
