Bangladesh-India relations are perhaps the most complex bilateral relations in the subcontinent. India is often perceived as serving its own self-interests against the neighbouring Bangladesh. With the signing of Peace and Friendship Treaty in 1972, the two countries attempted to improve their relations to no avail.
As a result, decades-old issues concerning land, water, and border security still remain, as does Bangladesh's seeking of favourable access to Indian markets, particularly for its widely exported garment products. According to a news report on Tuesday, full settlement of the Bangladesh-India border dispute has become uncertain with India seeking a major deviation from the principle of demarcation in violation of the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) and the subsequent protocols signed by the two countries.
