NEW DELHI (PTI): In a bid to strengthen military ties, Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne will be on a visit to Bangladesh next week.
The IAF Chief will discuss ways of enhancing and further strengthening ties between the two air-forces, IAF officials said here.
Browne will also hold discussions with senior political and military leadership of the neighbouring country.
This will be the second time in last two years that an IAF Chief will visit Dhaka. Former IAF Chief ACM P V Naik had gone there in January, 2010.
