The Bangladesh cabinet has approved a draft agreement with Bhutan, allowing the latter to use the former’s land and sea ports and territory as transit points for export and import of goods, cabinet secretary Mohammad Mahbub Hossain recently said. Bhutan will separately deal with India to cross the neighbour’s territory to reach Bangladesh, he said.
“The cabinet has endorsed the draft ‘Agreement on the Movement of Traffic-in-Transit and Protocol between the government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and the Royal Government of Bhutan,” he told a press conference.
Bhutan can transport its products through Bangladesh by trucks, he was quoted as saying by Bangla media reports.
