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.
