Dhaka, Broadcasting News Corporation: As part of enhancing mutual cooperation between the two friendly countries, Bangladesh and Ethiopia, the Bangladesh Army and Ethiopian Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding (agreement) on Wednesday (January 7, 2026). Under this agreement, members of the Bangladesh Army will be able to travel to various global destinations, particularly those not covered by existing Biman Bangladesh Airlines routes, at relatively affordable rates through Ethiopian Airlines for training and participation in various government activities.
