Bangladesh and India commenced a two-week military exercise in Meghalaya's Umroi on Tuesday (3 October) in a bid to enhance mutual cooperation and share tactical expertise, reports PTI.

The joint effort -- 'SAMPRITI-XI' -- aimed at promoting best practices in sub-conventional operations, is poised to deepen bilateral relations, cultural understanding, and yield mutual benefits from shared experiences, according to statements from the defense ministry.

'This exercise, alternatingly organised by both countries, signifies strong bilateral defence cooperation initiatives. With its inception in Jorhat, Assam in 2009, the exercise has witnessed 10 successful editions till 2022,' it said.
