Oh wow I didn't know that, there are 3,4 areas that can help Pak get surplus or even if we didn't there won't be a crazy defecit@Sainthood 101
Here is the BD top 10 imports from 2020:
Bangladesh's Top Imports 2023
Bangladesh's biggest imports in 2023 were led by processed petroleum oils, raw cotton & iron or steel scrapwww.worldstopexports.com

As you can see Cotton is No.1 at nearly 5 billion US dollars.
Cereals are at 1.7 billion US dollars?! Does Pakistan have any products in this categoty as capturing just 20% of BD market will be 340 million US dollars per year
Now as I have said you also have to look at the fast growing BD economy of 7-8% a year and all economic forecasters expect this to continue up to 2035.
I think Pakistan has more of a chance now as Modi's ban on the UK AstraZeneca vaccine exports has highlighted just how unreliable and frankly immoral that India is. BD will accelerate its dependence away from India for as much products as possible and this gives opportunities for others like Pakistan.
This is a good thread and BD and Pakistan need to start trading for mutual benefits first and then we can obviously move into areas like military co-operation. BAF can learn a lot from PAF as a good example in the military arena.
This current gov in Pak would be very receptive to the idea especially with connection to centeral asian markets and thier cotton, gas, minerals and ofcourse since they're largely an untapped market Bangladesh will probably get a trade surplus with them etc
Ha ha, so my assertion was correctNo you GDP over the the course of history was higher than BD for a little bit intermittently.... only your pomposity allows you to believe otherwise...simple internet search would rectify that fallacy.
I am old enough to remember pakistanies telling everyone how you are richer than everyone in S. Asia and how you are really central asians....
I dont see why you should begrudge other south asians the same opportunity to meet out insults that you subjected others to
Dumb South Asians, there's nothing more to it all of this region is made up of petty people with India being the front and center of it all
And attitudes won't change easily
