GS Paper II - Bilateral Relations: Non-tariff barriers and connectivity gaps have long constrained India-Bangladesh trade, prompting the two sides to institute a Joint Task Force as a dedicated mechanism. This signals a shift toward structured, issue-specific dialogue on trade, energy and border cooperation, with the way forward lying in timely implementation and linking such bilateral fixes to wider regional (BBIN) trade integration.
