Bangladesh’s Rahman looks to China to squeeze India on the Teesta

Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's visit to China highlighted a renewed focus on the Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project, which aims to improve water management and boost regional development. This initiative, once sidelined, now stands as a key part of Bangladesh's strategy to assert its interests against India's influence in the region. By securing Chinese investment and support, Bangladesh hopes to gain leverage in ongoing water-sharing disputes with India, signaling a shift in its diplomatic and strategic priorities.
