Cross-border trade between Bangladesh and Myanmar through Teknaf Land Port is in disarray as the Arakan Army, a Myanmar-based rebel group, disrupts ship movement along the Naf river estuary.
Despite the opening of the Padma Bridge and the Madhumati Bridge, the country will not be able to reap the maximum benefit of the enhanced connectivity as the 129km road from Faridpur’s Bhanga to Jashore’s Benapole is still not ready for increased vehicular movement.
Bangladesh is going to start exporting goods to India by train for the first time in what is billed by many as a major boost to cross-border trade.
