Bangladesh Pakistan Maritime Relation: Relations between Bangladesh and India are continuously deteriorating. Even though Bangladesh demands food items like rice and potatoes from India for its needs, it looks towards Pakistan for trade relations. But in the matter of Pakistan, the condition of Yunus government is such that it is blackmailing its own people.
Recently, trade and maritime relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan seem to be strengthening. Meanwhile, according to Bangladeshi media reports, ‘MV Yuan Xiang Fa Zhan’ has entered Bangladeshi territorial waters on Sunday (22 December 2024). This ship reached Chittagong port of Bangladesh via Dubai from Karachi.
This will be the first time after the formation of Bangladesh that a sea ship has reached Bangladesh directly from Pakistan under the maritime agreement. The proximity of Bangladesh and Pakistan is uncomfortable for India.
Pressure on Bangladeshi businessmen to import Pakistani goods
The Economic Times has quoted sources as saying that businessmen in Bangladesh are being forced to do business with Pakistan and import goods from there. Apart from this, it has also been said that some officials of the Shipping Ministry of Bangladesh are suggesting to review the India-Bangladesh Shipping Agreement. Only under this agreement, India is allowed to reach Chittagong and Mongla ports.
What harm can India face due to Pakistan’s interference in the Bay of Bengal?
Chittagong port is of great strategic importance for India. India could keep an eye on the conspiracies against it in Bangladesh through this port. In the year 2004, 1500 boxes filled with ammunition were found at this port. Its value was estimated at 4.5 to 7 million dollars. Then there were allegations that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI had delivered these weapons to the terrorist organization ULFA.
India’s concerns have increased in view of the nexus between Pakistan and Bangladesh, because such speculations are being made that Pakistan can use Bangladesh to spread terror in India.
