Bangladesh Prime Minister offered India the use of the Chittagong Port in Bangladesh. Access to the Chittagong Port will benefit India’s northeastern states like Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Mizoram.

• In March 2021, the Prime Ministers of India and Bangladesh inaugurated the Maitri Setu Bridge. It was built over the Feni River and reduced the distance between (Tripura) and the Chittagong port in Bangladesh.
• Road infrastructure in Meghalaya’s Dawki, Assam’s Sutarkandi, and Tripura’s Akhaura linking Bangladesh is also being improved.
• Mizoram is planning to build bridges across the Khawthlangtuipui river for faster access to the Chittagong port.
• Chittagong Port, Bangladesh’s principal seaport is built on the Karnafuli River.
