Asia-Pacific army meet begins in city today
Sunday, 14 September 2014
Senior army officials of the Asia-Pacific region will join a seminar in Dhaka beginning today (Sunday) to discuss "opportunities and challenges" of the region, reports bdnews24.com.
Titled 'Pacific Armies Management Seminar', this is the brainchild of the US Army Pacific.
The seminar will mostly focus on the challenges and opportunities of land forces of the Asia-Pacific region from the Indian subcontinent to the western shores of the Americas.
But this region has become an epicentre of global politics as it covers two oceans - the Pacific and the Indian - that are increasingly linked for shipping and strategy.
It is also home to almost half the world's population and is home to emerging powers like China and India.
