Reference excerpt

Look East policy refers to the foreign policy of Bangladesh which is designed to promote its relations with East and Southeast Asian countries covering economic, defence, cultural and other interests.

Policy The policy aims to improve ties with East Asian countries. This includes signing more bilateral treaties with Japan and China. The government of Bangladesh is also trying to increase economic trade and improve relations with Myanmar and Thailand.

History The policy was adopted in 2001 after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by Khaleda Zia was elected. Khaleda Zia said "The doors are open to us in the west, east, south and north but we are focussing on the east because it is good for us". Bangladesh was motivated by a lack of progress in trade deals with SAARC countries and perceived domination of India, which borders Bangladesh on all sides and has a trade surplus with it. In 2016, China signed a memorandum of understanding to provide Bangladesh with 24.45 billion USD in bilateral assistance to 34 projects in Bangladesh. This was to date the largest assistance pledged to Bangladesh by any country. China is Bangladesh's biggest source of Imports and the largest trading partner.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Look East policy (Bangladesh)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Look East policy (Bangladesh) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Look East policy (Bangladesh) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Look East policy (Bangladesh) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Look East policy (Bangladesh)

In research: Look East policy (Bangladesh) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Look East policy (Bangladesh) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Look East policy (Bangladesh) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bangladesh stubs, Foreign policy doctrines, Foreign relations of Bangladesh, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Look East policy (Bangladesh) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
