Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Smruti S. Pattanaik’s article ‘Sheikh Hasina’s visit to India bolsters bilateral ties’ has been published in the East Asia Forum on 16 December 2022.
Mutual economic interest and geoeconomic coherence have been important factors binding India and Bangladesh together. Non-traditional security challenges that are heightened by porous borders and a geography that nurtures smuggling and trafficking have created avenues for cooperation for mutual benefit. Strong cultural ties that are advanced by the people — the real stakeholders in the India–Bangladesh relationship — are likely to keep bilateral relations in good stead, says Dr Pattanaik.
