Bangladesh, India pledge closer border cooperation amid migration row

Bangladesh and India have agreed to enhance border cooperation through improved intelligence sharing and coordinated patrols. This agreement was announced in a joint statement following a four-day meeting between top border officials from both countries in New Delhi. The discussions were described as cordial and positive by the Border Guard Bangladesh and India’s Border Security Force. This move comes amid strained relations stemming from allegations of undocumented migration. Dhaka has accused Indian authorities of attempting to force migrants across the border without due process, which complicates efforts to stabilize bilateral ties. India is also undertaking efforts to identify and deport undocumented migrants.
