Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has stated that the military relations between India and Bangladesh are strong, with regular exchanges of strategic notes. Addressing Bangladesh’s ties with China and Pakistan, he remarked, "Both countries maintain high-level cooperation, which we must acknowledge. What concerns me is the dual threat reality—if a country known as a hub for terrorism forms close ties with my neighbor, it is a matter of concern." He emphasized the risk of terrorism spreading through such alliances.
