India-Bangladesh Relations
India and Bangladesh are South Asian countries and share friendly relations. However, they have experienced some border-related issues. Bangladesh’s border is covered by India on three sides. Both these countries are members of SAARC, BIMSTEC, Indian Ocean Coastal Regional Cooperation Association, and Commonwealth.
India and Bangladesh share common cultural roots because a part of north-eastern Indian states and West Bengal uses common language Bengali in their daily courses. The military exercise like SAMPRITI-IX not only strengthens the relations between the armies of the two countries but also increases the confidence between the two nations.
