Bhutan, Bangladesh sign initial MoU on trade transit facilities


Bhutan and Bangladesh recently signed an initial memorandum of understanding (MoU) on transit to strengthen trade relations. After the final deal is signed, Bhutan can pay a fee and use land, water and aviation routes in Bangladesh for its imports and exports, while Bangladesh can engage in trade with China using the former’s territory in future.

Bhutan is expected to get direct road connectivity with China in future.

Bhutan’s trade, industries and employment minister Karma Dorji and Bangladesh commerce minister Tipu Munshi have signed an initial MoU on trade transit. After the final deal, Bhutan can use land, water and aviation routes in Bangladesh for imports and exports for a fee, while Bangladesh can engage in trade with China using the former’s territory in future.

Bhutan’s trade, industries and employment minister Karma Dorji and Bangladesh commerce minister Tipu Munshi signed the initial MoU in Thimphu.

Munshi hoped that the agreement will pave the way for smooth trade between the two sides, a news agency reported citing a commerce ministry statement.

After Bhutan dropped out of the Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal Motor Vehicles Agreement, it proposed a bilateral transit agreement with Bangladesh. The countries held meetings and drafted an agreement and protocol in September 2022.
