All this talk is affecting the "happiness-o-meter" in Bhutan

Its upto Buthan to decide to who she becomes friendly with. Technically its none of India's
business. Under an agreement of 1950?.. Buthan's foreign policy is decided in New Dehli.The
whole world knows that. Why can't buthan have a balanced relation with her 2 giant neighbors?

Because whole world which includes Bhutan know about Chinese aggression for their neighbours

 

[eastwatch]

I agree totally. But Bangladesh isn't as severe as the Jamaatis and wannabes here show it to be. It is far more reasonable than our western neighbor.

Southeast Asia is the next big thing for us. With Burmese opening up to the world and their valuable location, it would help our strategic planners to consolidate a plan that would enable excellent connectivity with Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and eventually Vietnam.

If only the losers called NSCN-IM and NSCM are exterminated, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram would be safe to carry successful trade between entire Southeast and our country. Japan and we have already signed an agreement to use the Vietnam--Thailand-Burma corridor to reduce transit time via Malacca and straight enter into Indian ports. If planned correctly, we could be the strongest regional strategic partners for Southeast Asia.

You have very tactfully forgotten to name the most important country, that is, Bangladesh, to complete the trade route. Can you tell us how you can connect with SEA without asking for a route through BD? Do you think, your NE has any potentiality in such a trade route scenerio? Do you think SEA countries would invest billions to build their physical infrastructures only to serve your virtually landlocked poor NE?

Wake up, Indians to the reality. We have bottled up India. India cannot expand its trade further through land without an active support from BD.

And who the fck is a Bangladeshi to ask Bhutan to do things? Are you a Chinese dalal?

What Eastwatch has said is a reality and thats why NE India is in such a sorry state and India is begging for transit for all these years.

Bro they are begging for free corridor not transit. The awami indian dalals twisted the word ,
transit involves 3 countries while corridor involves bilateral agreement.

Typical Bangladeshis who think having a 1000 Taka in pocket makes someone super-rich like a person owning million Taka.

Your whole Highway network is Bangladesh is full of potholes, that's why you are needing billions of dollar investment for port modernization and road modernization for opening transit route for India. For your information, all 8 states of North-East India are regarded as "Special States" means they get huge amount of subsidies from central government and Industries get tax free permit, the only way North-East North-East left behind because of insurgency and poor road and Rail but that's the case no more. New Rail lines, 4 lanes highway and hydroelectric projects, new Industries etc.

Yeah, they would.....
not to serve NE but to increase trade with India, the next biggest thing coming up after China....
Face it, BD is the one covered on three sides by India, not vice-versa...
and did you know we are building a rail network from NE which will go upto Southern Myanmar and potentially Thailand and Singapore??
Don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like bottling up to me buddy........

India is a $2 Trillion Economy, third largest in Asia, why won't any country want to trade with India, Malacca Straits route is too long and expensive.
