After Pakistan, Bangladesh is fighting Pinga with India’s enemy Türkiye.
Highlights
- Türkiye’s challenge for India’s defense cooperation with Bangladesh.
- Huruk Gorgan met Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka.
- Turkish-Pakistan alliance is a matter of concern for India.
Defense and diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Pakistan have long been strong. Türkiye is the second largest arms supplier in Pakistan. He offers it to equipment such as drones, corewews, missiles and F-16 advances. Turkey openly supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor in May. Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan sent a message of support to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and described India’s action as an inciting war. Apart from this, Turkey also supported Pakistan in the United Nations and Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) on the Kashmir issue, which further increased tension in India-Turki relations.
Türkiye’s increasing interest in Bangladesh
Meanwhile, Türkiye’s move to increase defense cooperation with Bangladesh is a matter of concern for India. Defense technology transfer is a matter of concern in Haluk Gorgan’s visit to Bangladesh and his discussion with Muhammad Yunus. After changing the Nizam in Bangladesh, there has been tension in its relations with India. After the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government in Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus’s interim government is engaged in strengthening relations with Pakistan and China. She is on the anti -India path. In such a situation, now Türkiye’s move is like opening a new geopolitical front in the eastern neighborhood of India.
Impact on India-Bangladesh relations
Tensions have been completed in recent months relations between India and Bangladesh. After the rule of Sheikh Hasina, the new government of Bangladesh is following an anti -India path. Bangladesh recently attended a tripartite meeting with Pakistan and China, which is clearly going against India. Along with this, the influence of parties like Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Bangladesh has increased, which take a staunch stand towards India.
Challenge for India
This Turkey strategy is being seen as a well -planned strategy against India. Türkiye has already been pressurizing issues like Kashmir against India in association with Pakistan. Now he is trying to bring Bangladesh into his influence area. It creates a triangular challenge for India (Pakistan, China and now Türkiye). However, India is strengthening ties with its rivals such as Greece, Cyprus, Armenia and UAE to deal with this challenge of Turkey, which can help balance the effects of Turkey.
