Bangladesh–Myanmar relations

The Bangladesh–Myanmar relations refer to the bilateral relationship between the neighbouring states of Bangladesh and Myanmar. The relationship between the two countries have been generally frosty under the Burmese military junta, and as a result of the presence of over 270,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The civil society and political class of Bangladesh have often expressed solidarity for Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle. However, relations between the two nations soured as a result of Rohingya genocide which resulted in the influx of over 1.1 million Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State in Myanmar to Bangladesh. Despite being neighbouring countries, very little trade exists among these countries.
