Sane! Doubt it, even the india lovin Hasina jetted off to China to avoid having to be seen shaking hands with Adolf Modi. The west is yesterday's news, it's all Asia now, an the big kahuna in Asia is China, so STFU an learn to live with it.
Our future is to the east an ASEAN nations, that's...
Not much of a difference "grandad", there is huge distrust of india from it's regional neighbours. Now with a fascist right wing hindu leader in charge, this ain't gonna get any better.
This coming from someone who thinks SAARC is anything but dead!!! LOL, a defunct organisation that's nothing but talk shop, with countries that vary from distrust to hate, I think you really need to check out a shrink! :undecided:
Just the start, thanks for posting the news bro. Hopefully we'll also start work on building the type 56 corvettes here in Bangladesh, and allow the private yards like Western Marine, Ananda etc to bid for naval contracts.
Still trying to hoist that dead Dhodho on us? You can keep SAARC, it was a crap idea from the start, none of the regional neighbours of india trust her. Glad to see the Bangladeshi government realising that only China has the funds and the tech to support our growth.
SAARC is dead, thank god. Don't waste your time to revive it, was a bad idea from the start. South Asian countries have very little in common and don't trust each other unlike Europe, so trying to create a fake EU equivalent in the sub continent was bound to fail. Let it fade away.
SAARC is dead as a Dhodho, let it die in peace. It was a bad idea in the first place and has no use what so ever. The idea of bringing SA nations closer together like the EU is stupid, we don't trust each other n have very little in common (and far more that separate us).
Setup a SAARC fund...
Let's look at the facts:
A) This is a commercial project to create a massive deep water port, it's not a naval base (those are being built elsewhere).
B) Bangladesh economy is about to take off in a major way, in a decade or so we are going to see Bangladesh become a major export lead economy...
To have a big defence budget you need a big economy in order to pay for it. We are first giving priority to growth, then we'll be able to afford a large defence budget. At the moment we just spend less the 1.3% of our GDP or $2bn on defence an still have an army of 300,000+.
Our GDP is only...
I have never liked politics and do not trust politicians from any of the major parties. True this government is more of a obstacle to the development of this sector and has never really had any interest in nation building, only helping themselves get rich at the expense of the nation and helping...
There are distinct patterns in economic development, take countries like Korea who are now one of most industrialised and dynamic countries. They follow similar paths, first they are mostly agrarian (like Bangladesh still to an extent is) then they start to build specific niche export focused...
Most of us have heard of Western Marine, Ananda, Khulna etc. but there are literally dozens of other smaller "second tier" ship builders in Bangladesh that are growing very fast and producing extremely cost effective vessels.
A contributor over at skyscrappercity is compiling some info on a few...
China still has a lot more infrastructure investments to do in its hinterland, before it can invest significant amounts abroad. In the next 3-4 decades China will have some of the most advanced industrial capacity available.
Very unlikely, nations need access to cheap resources and produce goods and services that the world will buy at a fair price. In most industries the US has become uncompetitive.
Britain had its time in the sun, when it ruled a vast empire and had access to cheap plentiful resources, then came...
You can't compare. Their population is a fraction of what indias, however they essentially have the world largest natural resources per capita. Even more then the USA.
There has been a gradual shift away from dollar trades, the euro has come to prominence, as has reciprocal trades in local currencies. As the relative strength of the US economy begins to wane, the value of the dollar and it's status the worlds reserve currency will also fade. There is no...
It's always better to make what you need then importing it from others. Our priority is first to develop our economy, and an industrial base. China is our best route, through TOT, and investment they can help deliver what is needed and it is happening.
We achieved our independence only...
