Indo-Bangladesh Relationship

Bangladesh are not nearly as strong, and their economic strengths pale in comparison to Australia’s. Australia are blessed in regards to resources and they are geographically close to one of the largest growing regions of the world, Asia. Australia’s economy is also incredibly resilient, Australia being one of only three countries not to record a period of economic contraction since data begun being recorded in 1991. The only real economic strength of Bangladesh, on the other hand, is that countries like China, Japan and Australia are beginning to outsource labor to Bangladesh, and this gives work to Bangladeshi citizens and brings money into the

From a perilous beginning, Bangladesh has attained notable advancements in economic and social development in about four decades. Since it won its independent in 1971 following a bloody war, many, in the international community were doubtful about the country’s long-term economic sustainability. Some observers predicted a state of continuing aid dependency, while others believed if a country with such enormous and innumerable development problems as Bangladesh could make strides in development, then possibly other developing countries could as

Three levels of analysis, each with its own distinct strength, reveals three different ways of understanding international relations. The first states that all nation-states behave similarly, the second emphasizes the unique internal factors of a nation-state, while the third level of analysis focuses on the individual deciding a state’s course of action. Each level of analysis is useful in the study of international relations. Indeed, used all together, it is not long before arriving at a point where a vast number of explanations for the actions of a country are brought to light. However, to best understand international relations, one level of analysis is more useful than the rest, because it provides the most comprehensive

This echoes the remarks by Israeli diplomat Abba Eban, who said, “Détente is not a friendship. It is not an alliance. It is rooted in a recognition of difference, and inspired by a premonition of disaster. The word can only be applied to an adversarial relationship. It accepts, as a reality, the fact that values and interests are in conflict, not in harmony” (Bowker and Williams 7). Both these statements acknowledge that détente is not possible between friendly, allied nations, but rather only available to states whose competing interests and inherently tense relations require both nations to come to some mutual understanding of the aims of the other nation and to come to a type of agreement to avoid future conflict. In other words, détente requires inherently unfriendly nations to put aside some of their differences and disputes to find areas of agreement to foster some element of cooperation in their relations with each other.

For centuries, governments dreamed and had an almost universal hope, about the raise of inter-state systems, to preserve peace amongst potentially antagonistic states;

global economy, war and peace, the concept of diplomacy is important to keeping relationships strong. As previously outlined, the actions that a country takes in terms of their willingness to co-operate with other countries economically on a global scale, greatly affects the relationship that these countries have with one another on all fronts. As wealth and economic prosperity are such major parts of what drives foreign policy, to essentially prevent certain countries from

This essay attempts to shed some light on the question: "To what extent can the Cold War be looked upon as the main event in shaping the political, economic and military schemes in India and Pakistan 1991?" It starts off by explaining the Cold War, its far reaching implications and the effect it had on two bitter neighbours, India and Pakistan. The focus of the essay then moves onto explaining the nature of the Cold War and its effect upon

Although Bangladesh is a fairly new country but its culture has been developed over centuries. Majority of its inhabitants are in this land for generations. Since the British reign in the Indian subcontinent, the land what now is known as Bangladesh had higher concentration of Muslims which grew even higher after the India and Pakistan partition. At present 90% of the population of Bangladesh is Muslim with strong religious beliefs and tend to follow the traditions of their ancestors. Although lifestyles are changing and more aligned with the rest of the world due to the increase of connectivity to the outside world through internet, yet the core beliefs are still intact in the mass population.

Japan was among the countries that recognized Bangladesh soon after the independence and established diplomatic relations on 10 February 1972. Early that year both countries opened Embassies in each other’s capital. The first ever highest level visit from Bangladesh was undertaken by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1973, as the Prime Minister of a free and independent Bangladesh. Since then our two countries’ relations have developed steadily and satisfactorily and never looked back. Bangladesh and Japan have shared views on many key international issues and closely worked for promoting global peace and stability. Both our countries have important contributions in the UN peace keeping operations. Bangladesh supports Japan’s permanent membership in UN Security Council and appreciates its role as an observer of SAARC that anchors it to the region as a bona fide partner. The relations with Japan are of priority for us and both countries are already engaged to exploit the high potentials for further deepening and widening cooperation.  Japan Bangladesh Parliamentary League actively promotes mutual friendship between the two countries. H.E. Mr. Taro Aso, the incumbent Prime Minister of Japan, assumed the office of the President of the parliamentary body last year reflecting the confidence of Japan in Bangladesh’s potentials.  Bangladesh is deeply appreciative of the Government and the people of Japan for
