Good ties must for Myanmar and Bangladesh

Myanmar is one of the closest neighbors of Bangladesh. Before World War II, many people from Bangladesh used to travel to Myanmar (Burma then) in search of livelihood. Since then, the people of these two countries have developed an economic and social relationship. Apart from India, Bangladesh shares a border with Myanmar too.

The 271km-long Bangladesh-Myanmar border is very important for Bangladesh due to geographical reasons. Bangladesh can use Myanmar by land for communication with Southeast Asian countries including China. Road connectivity is possible through Myanmar, perhaps a new horizon of relationships and possibilities unfolds.
