Q: Describe the neighboring countries position around Bangladesh?

Answer:

Bangladesh shares its borders with several neighboring countries, each with its unique history
and dynamics. India, the largest neighboring nation, has a complex relationship with
Bangladesh, marked by trade, cooperation, and occasional conflicts. India shares a 4,096-
kilometer (2,545-mile) border with Bangladesh, the longest land boundary between any two
countries in the world. The border is largely defined by the rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, and
Meghna, which flow through the region. The two countries also share a maritime border in the
Bay of Bengal. Myanmar, the second-largest neighbor, has a shorter border, and the two
nations have grappled with refugee issues and territorial disputes. Myanmar shares a 298-
kilometer (185-mile) border with Bangladesh, located in the southeastern part of the country,
which is largely defined by the Naf River. To the north, Bhutan and Nepal, both mountainous
nations, are separated from Bangladesh by the Siliguri Corridor and are known for their scenic
beauty. China, located to the north, shares a short border but plays a significant role in
Bangladesh's economy through investments and joint infrastructure projects.
