It's a start Pakistan, Bangladesh leaders agree to expand, deepen bilateral ties

Although some folks like @Sharma Ji @Vsdoc @Krishna with Flute won't like it.

Bhai you both can jump into bed and bugger each other by turns for all we care.

Well you cannot please everyone when it may go against their (perceived) interest.

Trade between Bangladesh and India are at an all time low now.

Some auto parts market in Delhi has threatened cancelling of business with Bangladeshi traders.

I guess next will be the Sarojini Swap meet association (dehati market) in Old Delhi which bans Bangladeshi shoppers.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

It is high time Bangladesh and Pakistan explore ways to increase trade and military to military cooperation to reduce India's influence in South Asia. We should not allow India to emerge as a regional power to maintain stability in South Asia. India is a regional bully and we must act together to contain India with the help of China. Hope you agree with me.

More than 1,000 containers were shipped between Pakistan and Bangladesh since the launch of the ‘first direct shipping route’ between the two South Asian countries in October, according to the port operator DP World.

The new direct link has led to a more than 50 per cent reduction in transit times, as well as improved connectivity through eliminating transhipment requirements, reports Gulf News.

The report says, “It is a joint venture between Dubai-headquartered DP World and NLC that is making full use of the new route. This is part of a wider service connecting six countries, rotating between: Port Klang (Malaysia), Jebel Ali, Karachi (Pakistan), Chittagong (Bangladesh), Belawan (Indonesia), and Mundra (India).”

"This new route also connects to many of our regional and global routes, giving businesses and traders connectivity to all parts of our global network," said Sultan Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive of DP World.

Launched on October 30, the first voyage carried 304 containers booked directly from Karachi to Chittagong.

“By eliminating the need for transshipment, the direct route offers a remarkably efficient 11-day transit between Karachi and Chittagong, ensuring faster delivery times and reduced logistics costs,” says a DP World statement.

“The second service saw more than double the container load between Karachi to Chittagong, underscoring the growing demand for this service.”​

More than 1,000 containers have been shipped between Pakistan and Bangladesh since the launch of the "first direct shipping route" between Bangladesh and Pakistan in October, according to Dubai-based port operator DP World.

The new direct connection has slashed transit times by over 50% and enhanced regional connectivity by eliminating the need for trans-shipment, reports Gulf News.

This initiative is a joint venture between Dubai-based DP World and Pakistan's National Logistics Corporation (NLC), leveraging the new route as part of a broader service linking six countries. The route rotates between Port Klang (Malaysia), Jebel Ali (UAE), Karachi (Pakistan), Chattogram (Bangladesh), Belawan (Indonesia), and Mundra (India).

"This new route also connects to many of our regional and global routes, giving businesses and traders connectivity to all parts of our global network," said Sultan Bin Sulayem, chief executive of DP World and Group chairman.
