This Programme endeavours to assess the future prospects of greater economic cooperation between Bangladesh and the North East and through it the promotion of economic synergies between the whole of India and Bangladesh. An effort is being made to bring together people from various walks of life and find out their opinion on this issue. This stakeholder consultation is being undertaken by CUTS Centre for International Trade, Economics & Environment (CUTS CITEE) in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES-India) as part of a series on regional economic cooperation in South Asia. An apex Indian business body, the Federation of Industries for North East Region (FINER), will be associated with this particular consultation.
