    India and Bangladesh have discussed ways to strengthen air connectivity and cargo links between the two countries during talks in Dhaka.

    The discussions covered opportunities to improve air transport connections and facilitate the movement of cargo, with stronger connectivity seen as important for supporting bilateral trade and business activity.

    Improved air links could provide exporters and importers with more efficient options for transporting time-sensitive and high-value goods between the two markets. Better cargo connectivity can also support wider regional supply chains and strengthen links between businesses in both countries.

    The talks also covered defence cooperation, highlighting the broader range of areas being discussed as India and Bangladesh engage on bilateral issues.

    For the logistics sector, stronger air connectivity could help expand cargo flows between the two neighbouring markets and improve access to wider regional trade networks.

    Both sides are expected to continue discussions on practical measures to enhance connectivity and cooperation across the identified areas.
