After a Joint Study Group (JSG) for examining the feasibility of the CEPA submitted its recommendations, India and Bangladesh are expected to start the process of negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) to deepen trade and economic ties during the visit of a high-level team from Bangladesh from March 1-4, 2022.
The Chennai mission is set to become Bangladesh’s first mission in South India. Kolkata and Mumbai already house Bangladesh's Deputy High Commissions. In addition, Guwahati and Agartala each have an Assistant High Commission.
From a policy perspective, India’s investments should be aimed at more plausible destinations and Bangladesh, in the current political economic sphere, is the more suitable than any other country.
