The event focused on innovative approaches of air and space power for ensuring geo-strategic security in the Indo-Pacific region amidst a rapidly changing global security scenario.
The BAF chief also joined the 'Sir Richard Williams Foundation Conference' which was focused on exploring the force-multiplying capability and increasingly complex requirements associated with Unmanned Aerial System (UAS).
These two visits offered an opportunity for the BAF Chief to exchange views with the air force delegations attending the conference. It is expected to enhance the knowledge for implementing effective methods and plans to deal with upcoming security threats by the Bangladesh Air Force.
