Times of IndiaยทFriday, 3 July 2026
China is pushing for an economic corridor connecting Bangladesh and Myanmar, similar in structure to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The plan was discussed during Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman's visit to China, and Beijing is also developing the Mongla port in Bangladesh. China has said other nations could join what it calls a 'transnational initiative.'
Why It Matters
This corridor sits right on India's eastern border, which makes it a direct strategic concern for Indian policymakers and security planners.
