Bangladesh and India have agreed to enhance border cooperation, including increased intelligence sharing and joint patrols, following discussions between border security forces in New Delhi. The move comes amidst rising tensions over alleged forced migration and the treatment of undocumented migrants. Dhaka has accused Indian authorities of pushing migrants across the border, a practice India’s government prioritizes, particularly concerning Bengali-speaking Muslims. Both countries acknowledge the issue of border crossings, describing recent talks as “positive and forward-looking.” Bangladesh has formally protested these alleged pushbacks, deeming them unacceptable and potentially damaging to bilateral relations. Both nations are increasing surveillance and patrols along their 4,000-kilometer border to manage the situation. The discussions represent an attempt to stabilize ties following recent political changes in Bangladesh and India’s efforts regarding undocumented migration.
