Bangladesh Explores Joining 'Islamic NATO' Defence Pact

Bangladesh is actively considering joining a proposed 'Islamic NATO' defence pact involving Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey to shift its regional security alignment.

The potential alliance has raised concerns in India regarding the shifting power dynamics in South Asia and the implications of a Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan axis.

Analysts suggest that Dhaka's interest in the pact reflects a broader strategy to diversify its diplomatic and military partnerships amid changing geopolitical pressures.
