(2) Trilateral highway and multimodal connectivity projects through BBIN with Thailand, Myanmar etc. (3) Central Asia connectivity through Ashgabat agreement, International

North-South Transborder Corridor (INSTC). (4) Bangladesh: promotion of sailing links (Czarskala-Ashana belt), seamless border crossing etc. Issues: (1) Cross-border terrorism has stopped any cross border connectivity through Pakistan.
