Army chief Waker to visit Kuwait for military talks

He is scheduled to meet senior officers from both the military and civilian sectors of the country

Army chief Gen Waker-Uz-Zaman is set to visit Kuwait for a three-day trip.

A five-strong delegation, headed by Gen Waker, will travel to the Middle Eastern country on Sunday, the Inter-Services Public Relations, ISPR, said in a statement on Saturday midnight.

During the visit, the army chief will hold courtesy meetings with senior military and civilian officers of the Kuwaiti government and discuss ways to strengthen bilateral military cooperation.

The ISPR expects the visit to enhance relations between Bangladesh and Kuwait’s armed forces, boost the morale of Bangladeshi personnel engaged in Operation Kuwait Purnagathan, or OKP, and facilitate the recruitment of skilled workers from Bangladesh.
