India-Bangladesh officials to discuss development of land port infrastructure

A delegation from Bangladesh arrived on Monday for discussions aimed at enhancing land port infrastructure along the India-Bangladesh border.

The 6th Subgroup Meeting between the Land Port Authority of India (LPAI) and the Bangladesh Land Port Authority (BLPA) will address ways to improve existing port facilities and explore new opportunities to boost trade and connectivity.
'This crucial meeting highlights the ongoing commitment of India and Bangladesh to strengthen cross-border infrastructure and promote smoother trade and travel between the two countries,' the LPAI stated.
The discussions build on previous agreements, reinforcing efforts toward regional economic integration and enhanced cross-border cooperation. As part of the program, the Bangladesh delegation will visit the Rupaidiah land port on the Uttar Pradesh-Nepal border on November 14. This field visit will give the delegates a closer look at operational facilities and help identify potential areas for infrastructure development at critical cross-border points, according to the LPAI.
