Bangladesh Air Force received their fifth C-130J Super Hercules aircraft from the UK last week.

"We are delighted..," said the British High Commission in Dhaka today.

The UK and Bangladesh share a strong defence relationship established at the time of Bangladesh's independence over 53 years ago, said the high commission in a message through its verified social media handle.

British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke, among others, was present at the reception ceremony held at BAF Base Bangabandhu.
