Q. Mongla Port, recently seen in news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Bangladesh
Notes: India aims to operate Mongla Port in Bangladesh and build a new terminal to counter China's regional influence. Mongla, the second largest seaport in Bangladesh, is strategically located 62 km from the Bay of Bengal, protected by the Sundarban forest. India's interest in Mongla will improve access and reduce transportation costs to northeastern states like Assam and Tripura. India Ports Global Limited has expressed interest, following the 2015 MoU for transit.
