We also used the LET L-410 turboprops back in the nineties for our private airlines operating from Tejgaon and now we use them for the Air force.
Czechia (then known as Czechoslovakia) cooperation with Pakistan/Bangladesh goes back to 1960's in that we utilized their Skoda-provided electricity generation powerplants in Bangladesh.
Other than Russia, Ukraine and to some extent Poland, Czechs were (as reluctant members of Warsaw pact) the only country in that pact boasting and advanced aerospace industry. These four countries in Eastern Europe also boasted a long long tradition of aerospace excellence dating back before the 1st world war.
I agree with
@Michael Corleone that cooperation with Czech industry will be good for us, most of their powerplants in aircraft are now also Western origin (GE turboprops etc.) and therefore easier to certify.
