India has successfully obtained the operational rights for a terminal at Mongla Port in Bangladesh, which is the country's second-largest seaport. This strategic acquisition is significant as it represents a counter to China’s growing influence in the Indian Ocean region. Indian Port Global Limited (IPGL) will manage the terminal, which will enhance India's regional presence and security. This development underscores India’s efforts to bolster its strategic interests and maritime influence in South Asia.
