Nepal’s Ambassador to Bangladesh, Ghanshyam Bhandari, has announced that a Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) between Nepal and Bangladesh will be signed soon. Speaking at a CPD roundtable in Dhaka, he highlighted strong prospects for trade expansion and ongoing discussions to import 40 MW of electricity from Nepal, potentially scaling up to 9,000 MW. CPD Fellow Mostafizur Rahman emphasized the need for India's support, as Indian transit routes and grid access are essential for boosting bilateral trade and energy cooperation between the two nations.
