Countries Bordering Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a South Asian nation with three land/sea boundaries:
- India: West, north, and east (4,096 km border—5th longest in world). Enclaves exchanged in 2015.
- Myanmar (Burma): Southeast (271 km border). Rohingya refugee crisis centered here.
- Bay of Bengal: South (580 km coastline). Exclusive Economic Zone extends 200 nm.
Strategic Context
- India surrounds Bangladesh on three sides (the “chicken’s neck” Siliguri Corridor connects NE India).
- Myanmar border is mountainous/forested (Arakan Yoma).
- Maritime boundary disputes with India and Myanmar partially resolved (2014, 2012).
No other countries share a border with Bangladesh.
