Pakistan’s diplomacy has revitalized ties with Bangladesh, pushing bilateral trade past $1 billion
(Web Desk): After 15 years, Pakistan exported 26,000 metric tons of rice, with more shipments on the way. Demand for Pakistani cotton, sugar, and textiles is surging, while Bangladeshi jute, pharmaceuticals, and garments are gaining traction in Pakistan. Direct flights and online visas are cementing the bond.
The new Bangladeshi leadership is pivoting toward Pakistan. This shift, driven by Army Chief General Asim Munir and SIFC’s strategic vision, opens fresh economic avenues and reduces India’s influence in the region.
With China in the mix, this trilateral cooperation challenges India’s dominance. Gwadar Port, CPEC expansion, and defense ties are reshaping South Asia’s geopolitics, solidifying Pakistan’s role and countering India’s ambitions, thus adding to India’s nervousness.
