Bangladesh: Bangladesh needs necessary policies to benefit from Bay of Bengal

DHAKA, 01 March 2022, (TON): Speakers told a roundtable conference “Bangladesh needs to formulate necessary strategies and policies to reap the benefits of its strategic location in the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean region.”

They said “the country would have to play a much more proactive role with respect to the region that has attracted all the major powers in the world.”

Describing the Bay of Bengal as very important for Bangladesh strategically and economically, the speakers said that the government needed to ensure more resources to benefit from the blue economy.
