    Dhaka Metro rail route to be extended to Tongi

    Agree with you. We need to get maximum bang for our bucks and this requires a mix of solutions. Its great that metro has opened in dhaka. Elsewhere we need to upgrade and expand existing infrastructure be it rail, bus etc before putting in altogether new solutions.

    Japan-Bangladesh partnership yielding new Indo-Pacific doctrine to counter China

    That maybe the case however given BD has traditionally had issues attracting foreign investment and for BD these ²amounts are huge. This is not a zero sum game. BD will not and can not alienate anyone. Expect BD to remain fully engaged with China. The balancing act continues.... BD is open...

    Japan-Bangladesh partnership yielding new Indo-Pacific doctrine to counter China

    We all hope that is the case. The organ grinder is USA with the indian monkey just dancing to its tune. BD needs to play the game and cooperate with US and China on a case by case basis. There is no need to put all our eggs in one basket at any point.

    Biman decides to purchase 2 cargo planes from Airbus

    Biman cargo operation should exist as a new business. Govt should buy the planes and get it started and immediately privatise it. The company should be run on full commercial basis and from profit it should pay back the govt in time. There would be no hope if this operates in the same way...

    Japan-Bangladesh partnership yielding new Indo-Pacific doctrine to counter China

    BD will not allow indian troops to travel through BD under any circumstances at any time. China have supported Burma over BD and BDs current position should not come as a surprise. However it does not make any sense for BD to be in any camp fully because no one really on our side. BD will...

    Japan-Bangladesh partnership yielding new Indo-Pacific doctrine to counter China

    Wishful thinking by indians. BD will play quad and china off one another benefit in the process. Our position is economic engagement with everyone, military alliance with no one explicitly. BD can take quads side now and pivot as many times as necessary and be pro china. We do not tip the...

    IMF: Bangladesh to be bigger source of global growth than UK, France over next 5 years

    Bringing PK into this thread will inevitably lead to an unnecessary flame war. I focus solely on BD. This is a good development, BD needs to retain its focus on economics but needs to drastically improve on governance. Slow and steady upward trajectory is what i am hoping for BD. Please...

    World is looking to Bangladesh for the next election: Blinken

    In a free election BAL does not have the support to achieve a majority. Neither does BNP. If election was free and fair this time we will see something unique... lots of independents getting elected. Ultimately who will be able to form a government is unclear.

    World is looking to Bangladesh for the next election: Blinken

    I am fundamentally conflicted. I want BAL out of power, but via the ballot box in an open and fair election. This is not possible under BAL and at the same time opposition has been completely neutralised. Under the circumstances can one truely look to outside powers to act on behalf of the...
