The government is looking to develop a port in Bangladesh, after signing a pact to develop a port in Chabahar, Iran. “Bangladesh is very much keen to work with us and hence the Ministry of Shipping, the Ministry of External Affairs and the government of Bangladesh are currently in talks to explore options available there (in Bangladesh),” Union Minister for Shipping, Highway and Road transport Nitin Gadakari said.
He also described the recently concluded Chabahar Port development agreement with Iran as a game changer. “Gas and electricity are cheaper in Iran, while in our country there is a shortage of gas. Further, the Chabahar Port will give direct access to Indian goods to the markets in Afghanistan, Central Asia and Eastern Europe, bypassing Pakistan,” he said.
