Bangladesh's foreign policy aims to preserve its sovereignty and economic advancement while maintaining friendly relations with all countries. It faces challenges from territorial disputes with neighbors like India and Myanmar over borders and maritime boundaries. However, Bangladesh has worked through international arbitration to peacefully resolve disputes. It plays an important role in regional economic cooperation initiatives like BIMSTEC and BCIM due to its strategic location connecting South and Southeast Asia. While Bangladesh faces economic and security threats in the region, strengthened regional connectivity and cooperation could help address issues like extremism and climate change.

20. NECS 2016 _ Sub regional cooperation in energy sector Mr.K.M.Zaman RomelFICCINorthEast
Presentation made at 3rd Northeast Connectivity Summit,2016 on Sub regional cooperation in energy sector by Mr.K.M.Zaman Romel, Managing Director, People's Group, Bangladesh
CII August issue of the Multilateral Newsletter captures the priority areas of cooperation in the grouping, the regional challenges and the solutions to strengthen and integrate the grouping. In addition to this, the newsletter also highlights the key happenings at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), The World Bank (WB), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Under the inspiring leadership of Mrs Sushma Swaraj, EAM, over the last two and half years, the MEA has not only shown itself adept at the advancement of our foreign policy goals, but also as a caring Ministry that has set a new template for the delivery of public services. Prosperity and security are the two bookends on which we have framed our foreign policy. What we have sought across the world are partnerships of prosperity - through new synergies in our flagships programmes - from investment and infrastructure, from railways and transport, Smart Cities and Skill India, Digital India and Clean Ganga, the primary aim of our external partnerships has been the growth and development of India. Led by the Prime Minister, NDA Government's efforts at engaging the Diaspora has been a true game-changer, even while we have consistently sought to go to the aid of Indians in distress abroad.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sought stronger cooperation from the seven-nation grouping to effectively counter it, asserting that their security is "indivisible".

13. What was Bangladesh’s experience working with an
international arbitration process on this issue and can this
be an example for other bilateral territorial disputes in Asia?
due to our excellent relations with both Myanmar and India, the decisions taken
by the international arbitration process on the demarcation of the maritime
territory between Bangladesh and those two friendly countries, were accepted
spontaneously by all in the spirit of friendship and understanding. Bangladesh
was happy with the fair, just, and conclusive decision of the international
arbitration process. It reflected and reaffirmed the integrity and correctness of
the arbitration process.
As for Bangladesh, it remains convinced that such maritime differences between
countries can all be solved in a similar manner in a friendly environment created
by friendly relations.
14. From Bangladesh’s perspective, what are the
greatest threats facing the South Asian
Region? What can we do to address these
issues?
A factor for quickening development is good connectivity
of roads, rail, water, and air in the region. Good
connectivity could bolster vibrant trade and commerce
among the countries. These in turn could help in creating
an enlightened and prosperous populace thus ridding the
region of extremism and terrorism, tackling climate
change, and facing all other challenges threatening the
region.
15. Bangladesh is naturally an integral part of the Bay of
Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and
Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC). what role will
Bangladesh play?
Bangladesh has felt the need of the same, more so
because of its strategic location as a natural bridge
between South and Southeast Asia
As for Bangladesh’s role, it is clear that whether it be
BIMSTEC or be the other regional organizations, its
strategic location will inevitably ensure it as the
economic hub of the region, or even of the greater
region. Bangladesh’s role would thus be of a catalyst for
all countries not only in BIMSTEC, but also in SAARC and
ASEAN, to prosper
16. the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral
Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC)
17. Bangladesh is also part of the Bangladesh-China-India-
Myanmar Corridor, or the BCIM. How can Bangladesh
contribute to this economic grouping and what does
Bangladesh hope to gain from its participation?
The Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Corridor or BCIM is
another excellent development of physical
communication by roads/highways among four
neighboring countries. Bangladesh with its market of 160
million people falls literally in the middle with India’s 1.2
billion market in the west, China with 1.4 billion market
in the north and Myanmar’s 70 million market in the east.
With excellent connection among these huge markets, a
frenzy of economic activity is inevitable among the four
countries. In the center of it all would be Bangladesh,
reaping substantial benefits
19. Bangladesh’s foreign policy is based on the Father of
the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s
dictum, “Friendship towards all, malice towards
none.”
20. The core principles
Self-preservation
Economic advancement
Safeguarding as well as augmenting national power
Ideology
National prestige
21. What needs ?
1) Self-preservation maintenance of its physical integrity.
2) The unity of its people from the basis content of foreign policy of
Bangladesh.
3) The entire congeries of rights and privileges the big powers exercise beyond
its border.
4) Strength of national economy.
5) Economic development and the achievement of higher level of living.
6) Demand an uninterrupted external existence inflow.
7) Interactions with other states.
8) To satisfy domestic needs and aspirations.
9) Trade aid access to communication flows sources of supply and foreign
market
22. Conclusion
According to armed conflict with India in 2001 with causalities and other conflicts
concerned with races , the relations between India and Bangladesh seems to be
unwell
In these days, with the economic globalization, Bangladesh would like to cooperate
with China through BCIM
It would like to be center for maritime trade in the region of South Asia and would
like to integrate with ASEAN….
Though the records say that she is under poverty line but her economy is in rising line
of 6% annually.
Despite its poverty and small military capability, Bangladesh has not hesitated
to defend its sovereignty and to take strong stands on many international
issues.
. The friendly relations it has enjoyed with Islamic nations have led to the receipt
of economic aid from wealthy Arab countries.
The foreign policy of Bangladesh is tied closely to the realities of its economic
condition
