Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal signed a sub-regional motor vehicle agreement (MVA) in June 2015 to regulate passenger, passenger and freight traffic between the four countries. This agreement will institutionally and physically accelerate the implementation of rules to facilitate land transport and allow the exchange of traffic rights. It should facilitate the international traffic of goods, vehicles and people. This complementary instrument to existing bilateral transport agreements would thus help to increase contacts between people, trade and trade in people. The first-ever meeting of transport ministers from BBIN countries, held in Bhutan in June 2015, gave the Asian Development Bank (ADB) the technical and facilitation role. New Delhi: Pakistan has reached an ambitious multilateral agreement on linking South Asian nations on road and rail networks, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh have joined in a similar agreement to boost regional and cultural trade between them. India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh are working on an agreement to promote regional trade and cultural exchanges For the connection with Bangladesh, he said that the Agartala-Akhaura New Line (Trans-Asian Railways missing link) is being implemented, while with Nepal, two projects have been sanctioned: Jogbani-Biratnagar Link and Jayanagar-Bijalpura the conversion to Bardiba. Third, the complications and complexities of the movement of foreign vehicles and cargoes are difficult to manage and negotiate at the sub-regional level, at least in the ten northeastern states of India, several districts of Nepal and 64 districts of Bangladesh, as reflected in the protocols. Border management regimes are remarkably different and vary from the opening of barbed wire to borders. For example, there are severe restrictions ranging from formalities, taxes, rest and recreation areas, laws and regulations, coordination and security between States of India, and authorizations for the most remote and restricted areas in the case of the northeastern region of India. Internal shareholder consultations on the passenger protocol are still ongoing. Bangladesh, India and Nepal have ratified the agreement; Passenger and freight services conducted demonstrations.
Despite the six-month work programme (July-December 2015) for the implementation of BBIN, as a plethora of SAARC projects in the past, the MVA has also not started. The joint meetings of the working group on sub-regional cooperation between BBIN have not taken place in Dhaka since its third meeting in January 2016. At that meeting, water management and water management, connectivity and transit area were discussed and it was decided that „the next JWGs meeting will be held in India in the second half of 2016.“ However, no meetings were held. This is roughly in line with the trend in other regional groups. This unprecedented performance of such a valuable project is attributed to five factors. At a summit in Saarc in 2010, the idea of opening up road transport was supported. The summit declared in 2010-20 the decade of intra-regional connectivity in Saarc and agreed to intensify negotiations on the conclusion of agreements on motor vehicles and railways. In addition to facilitating connections between countries and countries, this conglomerate will create economies of scale, create supply chains, create micro-enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and supraregional energy networks, attract investment and technological exchanges, and develop projects spread across borders and border municipalities. They can manage disasters together, monitor natural resources, and more importantly, they will lead to market expansion, both for manufacturing and for services.
