The Welcoming Regional Transit Facility

Since the independence of Bangladesh, we do not have any inter-regional transit
facility just by being the fact that some neighboring countries including Bangladesh
have been remaining anti-Indian. Neither are those any good for the Asian and the
SAARC countries, nor is it doing any benefit to the growing and promising
developing country of Bangladesh. Let us forget about other countries or what is
happening in their benefit from regional trade. Bangladesh has not been able to reap
the benefit from the regional trade for about more than 40 years since its
independence. Is it acceptable to us in Bangladesh? Not at all. Nor are these acceptable
to any other countries in Asia including India in particular. Preciously speaking, we
must do it by creating transit facilities between neighboring countries, SAARC
countries, the countries situated in the Middle-Eastern and the nearby Asian countries
context including China and Myanmar.[gview file=”http://www.azizurrahman.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Welcoming-Regional-Transit-facilities.pdf”]
