It reflects the two countries\u2019 shared goals in the political, strategic and economic <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">sectors. The birth of Bangladesh, and the subsequent strategic considerations, thus gave <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">impetus to relations between Japan and Bangladesh. This context highlights the Official <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Development Assistance (ODA) that has strengthened Bangladesh\u2019s economy by <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">enhancing trade and investment.

A large grant of about US$ 200 million per annum has been <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">used to develop critical sectors of the economy. Finally, the research has also discovered <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">the significant barriers to the effective use of resources. It further proceeds to explain how <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">such barriers have affected people\u2019s attitudes about Japan\u2019s prospects for aid and how <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">economic, political, bilateral and other relations will be in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Keywords Bangladesh-Japan Bilateral Relations .
