Bangladesh plans to purchase five naval ships from the United Kingdom as part of its “Forces Goal 2030” military modernization program.

The decision was reached during a bilateral meeting between Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the COP26 summit in Glasgow.

According to Bangladesh Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen, the Asian nation wants to acquire additional sea assets to improve monitoring and protection of its maritime territory. He did not disclose specific details about the type of ships his country would be purchasing.
