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:
“The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic and food for our mind, as well as our body. The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education, and bring us to just relations with men and things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
