Dhaka: US naval ships started a three-day training exchange with Bangladesh on Tuesday in Bay of Bengal near Burmese waters, reports an official source.
"The training program started yesterday at the offshore island of Kutubdia in Cox's Bazar District, which is located near the Burmese border. In the training, 200 US naval personnel are participating," the source said.
US Navy Commander Adam J. Welter is conducting the training with an estimated 200 naval personnel on board the USS Ingraham.
Commander Welter told journalists that the training is aimed at strengthening the relationship with Bangladesh through mutual cooperation and understanding.
The training is being conducted as part of a goodwill visit to Bangladesh, and will be carried out as the trip travels to Singapore from Bahrain, where it was engaged in anti-terror vigilance up until two weeks ago.
The US and Bangladesh naval forces will share their experiences and knowledge as part of the training, not just militarily but also technical knowledge. Such joint military trainings are occasionally carried out by Bangladesh and the US in the Bay of Bengal.
