Neighbouring CountryÂ
A neighbouring country is a country that shares a border or is located close to our own country. Bangladesh has several neighbouring countries, but the most important one is India. India shares borders with Bangladesh on the west, north, and east. Other neighbouring countries include Myanmar (Burma) to the southeast and the Bay of Bengal to the south.
Among these, India is not only the largest neighbouring country of Bangladesh but also the closest in terms of historical, cultural, and economic ties. The two countries share many things in common, such as language, food, traditions, and festivals—especially in regions like West Bengal and Tripura. India also played a major role during the Liberation War of 1971, helping Bangladesh gain independence.
Bangladesh and its neighbours work together on various issues like trade, border security, climate change, river water sharing, and regional development. Sometimes there are challenges, such as border disputes or trade disagreements, but both sides usually try to solve them peacefully through dialogue.
Maintaining good relationships with neighbouring countries is very important. It helps in ensuring peace, development, and cooperation in the region. As students and future citizens, we should learn about our neighbouring countries and promote friendship and understanding among nations.
In conclusion, neighbouring countries are our closest partners in geography and often in culture and history too. Building strong and peaceful relations with them is essential for national progress and regional harmony.
