A seven-member delegation from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) arrived in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to conduct air staff talks with the Bangladesh Air Force, focusing on enhancing air cooperation and training. The meetings are expected to result in the signing of several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at providing advanced training for Bangladeshi pilots and technicians in Pakistan. Additionally, Bangladesh has expressed interest in acquiring the JF-17 Thunder fighter jets, a lightweight combat aircraft developed jointly by China and Pakistan. This interest was highlighted during a previous meeting between the air chiefs of both countries. The warming relations between Islamabad and Dhaka have been notable since the new government led by Muhammad Yunus took office in 2024, following a period of tension stemming from historical grievances related to the 1971 Liberation War.
