Hindustan TimesBangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies globally. This paper seeks to assess the significance of the two seaports in advancing Bangladesh’s domestic trade development, and their role in facilitating maritime commerce in the Bay of Bengal region. Once labelled a ‘basket case’ by United States secretary of state Henry Kissinger in the aftermath of its economy-crippling liberation war, Bangladesh is now considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Bangladesh’s seaports are important maritime gateways for the neighbouring countries, especially those landlocked, with the potential to boost their trade. This paper aims to understand the importance of Bangladesh’s Chattogram and Mongla seaports in advancing the country’s economic interests and facilitating regional commerce.
