SS: India has shown a keen interest in managing operations at Bangladesh’s Mongla Port and in constructing a new terminal at the site. This comes amid China’s attempts to gain control over the strategically important port. India’s interest in Mongla aligns with its broader strategy to counter China’s expanding influence in the region.
Currently, India already holds operational rights at the Chabahar Port in Iran and the Sittwe Port in Myanmar. The potential addition of Mongla Port would further enhance India’s strategic presence across the Indian Ocean.
