Japan

Bangladesh–Japan relations were established on 10 February 1972.[1]

Trade and investment

Japan is Bangladesh's 11th-largest export market; as of 2005, imports from Bangladesh make up 26% of all Japanese imports from the least developed countries, second only to those from Cambodia. Common imports from Bangladesh to Japan include leather goods, ready-made garments, and shrimp.[2] By 2004, Japan had become Bangladesh's fourth-largest source of foreign direct investment, behind the United States, United Kingdom, and Malaysia. Japan is also a significant source of development aid to Bangladesh.[3]

Japan's political goals in its relationship with Bangladesh include gaining support for their bid to join the United Nations Security Council, and securing markets for their finished goods.[3]

In 2001, there were about 9,500 Bangladeshis in Japan.

Year 2002: 30th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations

Japan recognized the People's Republic of Bangladesh on February 10, 1972, soon after its independence. Both parties celebrate thirty years of relations in 2002.
