Bilateral Relations
Since Bangladesh is almost entirely encircled by India via a land border which stretches 2,400 kilometers (1,500 mi), its relations with India are vital for economic reasons. The two largest parties of Bangladesh also have varying attitudes to India, which also explains for the fluctuations in relations between the two countries. The Awami League for example, tends to be more friendly with India whereas the Bangladesh Nationalist Party is more critical and cautious of India.

Famous quotes containing the word relations:
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
