Belt and Road Initiative & Bangladesh
11.1 Conclusions
•
BRI promises to deliver physical and soft infrastructure to foster connectivity
and economic development across its corridors.
• For Bangladesh too, BRI provides an opportunity to seize benefits,
particularly in areas of trade, investment, connectivity, education and
tourism, through strong ties with countries particularly in the Southern
Asian region, more specifically, with China and India.
• K2K corridor can reduce costs of transport and benefit Bangladesh through
enhanced trade and investment. This will create opportunities for
employment and income. Bangladesh's enhanced competitive strength
through BRI will help Bangladesh to be better integrated into the global
•
economy.
Bangladesh needs formidable resources to build the required transport
infrastructure to be connected with the BCIM corridor.
• Realisation of the BRI objectives will also help Bangladesh in achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
