Borders of Bangladesh
The borders of Bangladesh define the geographical boundaries of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, a South Asian country located on the Bay of Bengal. Encompassing a total length of approximately 4,427 kilometers, Bangladesh shares its borders with India to the west, north, and east, and with Myanmar to the southeast.
The southern boundary is demarcated by the coastline along the Bay of Bengal. The border with India is one of the longest in the world, stretching over 4,096 kilometers, and is characterized by a complex mix of rivers, hills, and plains. The border with Myanmar, although significantly shorter at 271 kilometers, traverses through the hilly and forested regions of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. These borders have been shaped by historical treaties, colonial legacies, and geopolitical considerations, influencing the cultural and economic interactions between Bangladesh and its neighboring countries. The borders also play a crucial role in regional security, trade, and migration, making them a significant aspect of Bangladesh's national identity and international relations.
