Why can we not do with out india? Whats so special that others can not supply? is our biggest export market india?
Our biggest markets are the EU, US and soon ASEAN and japan....You obviosly don't see too well when it comes to China-Bangladesh relations heres a few:
1. $9bn loan as part of the $30bn upgrade for the rail system (now being raised to $13bn).
Link
2. $4.44bn project rail project as part of the padma bridge project.
Link
3. $1.07bn Karnaphuli tunnel project.
Link
4. $3.1bn Dhaka-Jessore rail link project.
Link
5. $1.55bn Padma Bridge project.
etc etc
These are just the rail and bridge projects. Then theres the power projects, road building projects and port projects....after china theres Russia ($12bn+ nuclear power project) and japan with power projects and port projects and road projects.
So you see, when it comes to investments india actually pales in comparison...india pledges and china does....thats the difference.
Oh and almost forgot, congrats on reaching $5trn GDP and $500bn exports in 2030, thats good for a nation of 1.25 billion people. Hope we achieve our target of $130bn -$150bn in exports by 2030 to, not bad for a nation of 155 million
