Unlocking Assam's Business Potential
Location
Assam's strategic location in the northeastern part of India makes it a pivotal region for enhancing trade and connectivity with Southeast Asian countries. Here are some detailed points highlighting its significance and opportunities:
Border Proximity
Bhutan: To the north, Assam shares a border with Bhutan, facilitating potential trade routes and economic cooperation.
Bangladesh: To the southwest, the border with Bangladesh opens avenues for increased bilateral trade and connectivity.
Myanmar: Although Assam does not directly border Myanmar, its northeastern position places it close to Myanmar via other northeastern states, enhancing its role as a gateway to Southeast Asia.
Northeast Connectivity
Assam acts as the central hub connecting the other northeastern states of India to the rest of the country. This makes it a crucial area for infrastructural development aimed at improving regional connectivity.
