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).
